and emerging markets of the world. Our focus in setting up a medical technology park in India is to manufacture medical equipments in the areas of critical care, cardiac care, imaging, routine laboratory diagnostics, Operating Room, Medical Devices etc. The objective is to manufacture quality and cost-effective medical technology products suited to the needs of developing countries. As these products, once manufactured in India, would be at least 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than imported and even hospitals or institutions in rural areas of the country would be able to afford.”
The investment underlines our belief in the long-term prospects of the healthcare market in South Asia, South East Asia, Middle East and African markets and optimally serving this market is vital for Trivitron."
Over 90% of the Operation Theatres in our country are not able to meet the IIC (International Infection Control) norms, due to a lack of affordability in the High End Modular OT Technology. Now with the indigenization initiative, Trivitron will provide a cost effective solution for the entry level as well as the premium level requirements by using patented Johnson Medical technology. In due course of time Trivitron will also focus on the Digital OT & other innovative Modular Solution which will be rolled out from its Johnson Trivitron OT Solution Division.

This will be the first facility in India for the manufacturing of the most advanced modular Operation Theatres, Mobile OTs and Pendants and production of the same is expected to commence by the end of 2010.”
