Further, the minister informed that this year the India Pharma & Medical Device 2017 Conference is based around the Themes: Medical Devices- ‘Shaping the Future-Making the Right Choices’ and Pharma -‘Shaping the future of India Pharma’. This initiative will be a platform to give a push to the Indian Pharma & Medical Devices sector in becoming globally competitive.

The initiatives in this three-day programme are designed to focus on contemporary policy interventions, ease of doing business, sharing best practices and fostering collaborations with the global regulatory framework and to deliberate on sectoral reforms which shall bring India on forefront of global attractiveness for investments in manufacturing and R&D in the sector.

Kumar stressed upon the need for India to have a lions share in manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and bulk drug formulations with special emphasis on indigenous manufacturing of medical devices. Further, he said that there is a need to have more researchers in this sector and hence the Government is constantly working in this direction by setting up National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPERs) across the country.
