Life gave him tests, he made a career out of it

In 1970, there was no kindergarten in Chinnalapatti, a small town in Dindigul, but S Gomathy Babu, a librarian and a socialist at heart, wanted to send his two-and-a-half-year-old son to school. So, the boy joined Class I with where the other children were double his age. The early start must have helped his journey to where G S K Velu is today: at the helm of Trivitron Healthcare, a group with a turnover of 3,500 crore.

Impact of PACS and RIS In Medical Imaging

Modern radiology process a large amount of data compared to other health practices. X-rays, CT scans, MRI, Ultrasonography and other diagnostic images need to be stored and made available to all concerned healthcare professionals over the network. The traditional paper / film-based system cannot cope up with the current needs. It can take too long to locate the hard copies of the images and there is a possibility that images will be misfiled or outright lost. With the integration of smart software and healthcare IT smart tools are developed to stream line the workflow and make it hassle free. Nowadays, radiology practices work with major software tools such as DICOM or PACS and RIS to streamline their effort and modernize their own operations. With PACS and RIS the images can be stored in the drive or cloud and can be sent to the doctor via the computer network, and allow the healthcare professionals with easier access to files in digital format. PACS or Picture Archive and Communication System can store standard 2D images along with 3D images and is majorly used to store all diagnostic imaging files. This helps one to quickly research and search for information and retrieves the target image. This software can store CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays using local servers or a cloud computing platform and offers one with convenience and ease of expandability. This helps one to manage all the imagery that is need be to check the status of the patient that is going through treatment and recovery.

EXCEPTIONAL MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY LEADING TO ONE OF THE INNOVATIVE MEDICAL DEVICES MANUFACTURING FIRM

I always believed in following my passion for healthcare entrepreneurship and learning from success. What was the rationale behind your career move towards being one of the Med-tech influential leader? My stint with healthcare began when I joined BITS Pilani in 1984 for a Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy with a specialization in Bio-Medical Engineering. After my graduation in 1988, I joined the medical instruments distribution company IMI and became a partner in that company in 1990. Over the years, through my position as South Asia Head of a US-based MNC Ciba Corning, I saw the medical device industry in India being dominated by large multinational companies. They had a monopoly in terms of pricing, positioning, and product line. That made me feel that now India needed an indigenous health technology company, which was “local by heart but global in its vision”. And then I decided to provide healthcare solutions at affordable costs to a large section of the Indian society, and started Trivitron Healthcare in 1997. I always believed in following my passion for healthcare entrepreneurship and learning from failure as It is difficult to learn from success. I am convinced that if one follows their passion and perseveres against all the odds, then the money will follow.

Significance of Radiation Protection in Interventional Cardiology

Image guided interventional procedures have become increasingly popular owing to the higher success rate and minimal invasion associated with it. Interventional cardiology teams face high quantum of radiation exposure due to a large number of complex interventional procedures performed in the Cath lab every day. Other fluoroscopy-assisted procedures, like trans-catheter valve replacements, are creating demand for Cath Lab time and skills. Also, the ability to treat cardiovascular, peripheral, and valve disease in a minimally invasive technique is increasing the addressable patient population and provides benefits like short recovery time and lesser complications. However, these procedures expose the interventional team’s long-term health at risk which calls for adequate radiation protection methods during interventional cardiology procedures.

Imaging considerations in COVID-19 patients

In a hospital setting where COVID-19 patients are treated, the hospital staffs are the first ones to come in contact with infected patients and therefore clear infection control guidelines are imperative. COVID-19 patients requiring general radiography need to get it through portable imaging systems to restrict patient movement or through standalone units in some cases. Patients who need to be transported to imaging department must be moved only after proper gowning and masking. Imaging as well as other equipments used during the examinations must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after the procedure. Also, clinicians attending COVID-19 patients must exercise the required precautionary measures to avoid cross contamination. Any non-urgent medical procedure, OPD consultations must be rescheduled. Also, according to 'The British Society of Skeletal Radiologists', intra-articular, soft tissue and perineural steroid injections should not be performed as they may reduce viral immunity.

Affordable digital mammography systems for early detection of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers that affect Indian women with high mortality rate & increasing incidences and early diagnosis of the disease is imperative for better survival rate. According to American Cancer Society Guidelines, the standard screening process of mammography should start at the age of 45 as Breast cancer in Indian women is a decade younger in comparison to western women with peak incidence at 40– 50 years. Breast Cancer Screening plays an essential role in early detection which increases the chances of effective & successful treatment. Breast self-examination is a good way to find the symptoms of breast cancer. When practiced regularly, one learns to differentiate between normal tissue and the abnormal new change in the breast. However, for precise screening and diagnosis, mammogram is essential for which good quality Mammography System is needed in a Centre. In the conventional Analog Mammography Systems, there are various limitations due to films but with the new Digital Mammography technology, the detection efficiency of invasive cancer has increased significantly. In Urban areas, Breast Cancer Screening has started gaining momentum as a result of Awareness Campaigns and availability of high-end Mammography technologies. The Centres in Tier II & III Towns and Villages are not able to afford such high-end technologies for Breast cancer screening because of which the penetration of Digital Mammography technology in such places are very low. Although Digital Mammography plays a major role in early detection of breast cancer, the actual installation base of Digital Mammography systems in India are lesser even when compared to a smaller country like Thailand. Government’s initiatives will play a vital role in increasing awareness on Breast Cancer screening as there is not only absence of adequate breast cancer screening programs or technologies but a complete lack of Breast Cancer Screening awareness as a whole. In order to improve the Breast Cancer screening, there is a strong need for Digital Mammography in the affordable segment which can be even bought by Centres in Tier II & Tier III areas. Such affordable Digital Mammography Equipment should also be compatible to be installed in Mobile Vans for Breast Cancer Screening.

Medical Technologies Revolutionizing the Healthcare System in India

By Chandra Ganjoo, Executive Director & Head Corporate Communications Trivitron Healthcare Group Technology has elevated many industries in India over the last few decades, but one such industry that has witnessed an unprecedented revolutionary change is the healthcare ecosystem in the country. India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, and access to quality healthcare for every citizen is substantial to continue the momentum. Healthcare service providers are under constant pressure to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes and therefore improvements in technology will only ensure better outcomes and provide affordable access to healthcare, thus bridging the gap between the rural pockets and developed cities. Since the last few years emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and digital healthcare startups, new and improved medical devices have reshaped the healthcare system and directly aided a patient’s life and treatment. Medical technology is an integral part of the entire healthcare ecosystem in a country, right from screening and diagnostics to treatment and care and monitoring patient’s health post treatment. The MedTech industry is witnessing rapid transformations and advancements in technology such as AI, 3-D printing, Newborn screening, genetic medicine, radiology, mass spectrometry etc. all of these technological advancements have promising aspects for future. Today medical technology can provide enhanced patient care in areas such as newborn screening, critical care solutions, imaging techniques, robotically assisted invasive procedures etc. and so increase the average life-span of a human being. Newborn screening methods have now evolved to diagnose a number of inborn errors of metabolism and other congenital disorders which if left untreated, may develop into significant or persistent disability or even death. The benefits of newborn screening are so well established that many countries have integrated newborn screening into their national health program subsequently making considerable improvements in infant mortality rates. Significant advancements, have been made in radiological diagnosis and imaging technology. While 3D mammography has been greatly advantageous in tumor detection, the addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography has led to greater diagnostic accuracy. Improved techniques and advanced radiological modalities have greatly impacted the management of breast cancers. Additionally, advanced imaging techniques have allowed precise location of tumors, tracking of photosensitive drugs, implants, fixtures etc. Medical technology include a number of modalities used to save and improve human lives. From latex gloves to advanced imaging systems all come under medical technology domain each one with significant importance. While the list is endless, Imaging modalities, In-vitro Diagnostics, and Critical Care Solutions are of great significance. In the preventive care segment medical devices have a significant application in screening and early diagnostics. Additionally, medical devices are being used in complex procedures where the clinical outcomes have now significantly improved the quality of care and treatment which earlier had low success rates. Therefore with improved clinical outcomes, there is a decrease in the lifetime cost of care. The Indian medical device market has grown at a substantial rate. However the Indian medical device market represents only 1.7% of the global market. Most of the medical devices are imported from other countries, there are very few manufacturers in this space who provide accessible and affordable technology and are domestic players in the country. However, the medical devices market faces several key challenges that are hampering the growth of this industry. First and foremost there is a need for an independent regulatory authority for medical devices. Steep price cuts discourage manufacturers to develop advanced technologies due to an uncertain environment affecting the growth of the segment and patient care. There is also a high dependence on medical devices manufactured from other countries that discourage domestic players to run a sustainable business in India. The medical devices market also faces a shortage of trained professionals and clinical staff that are required for the operating, servicing and repairing of medical devices. Policy makers should develop flexible regulations to favour indigenous manufacturing of health technology products. Medium scale manufacturers must be granted certain waivers, or provide financial assistance to encourage local manufacturing of healthcare technology products so that dependence on imported equipment can be reduced. Government can introduce certain reforms in the education system so that highly able healthcare professionals are produced. Pan Indian schemes like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Ayushman Bharat’ must be made more diverse to look into issues that hold back the growth of healthcare industry in the country. By Chandra Ganjoo, Executive Director & Head Corporate Communications Trivitron Healthcare Group Technology has elevated many industries in India over the last few decades, but one such industry that has witnessed an unprecedented revolutionary change is the healthcare ecosystem in the country. India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, and access to quality healthcare for every citizen is substantial to continue the momentum. Healthcare service providers are under constant pressure to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes and therefore improvements in technology will only ensure better outcomes and provide affordable access to healthcare, thus bridging the gap between the rural pockets and developed cities. Since the last few years emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and digital healthcare startups, new and improved medical devices have reshaped the healthcare system and directly aided a patient’s life and treatment. Medical technology is an integral part of the entire healthcare ecosystem in a country, right from screening and diagnostics to treatment and care and monitoring patient’s health post treatment. The MedTech industry is witnessing rapid transformations and advancements in technology such as AI, 3-D printing, Newborn screening, genetic medicine, radiology, mass spectrometry etc. all of these technological advancements have promising aspects for future. Today medical technology can provide enhanced patient care in areas such as newborn screening, critical care solutions, imaging techniques, robotically assisted invasive procedures etc. and so increase the average life-span of a human being. Newborn screening methods have now evolved to diagnose a number of inborn errors of metabolism and other congenital disorders which if left untreated, may develop into significant or persistent disability or even death. The benefits of newborn screening are so well established that many countries have integrated newborn screening into their national health program subsequently making considerable improvements in infant mortality rates. Significant advancements, have been made in radiological diagnosis and imaging technology. While 3D mammography has been greatly advantageous in tumor detection, the addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography has led to greater diagnostic accuracy. Improved techniques and advanced radiological modalities have greatly impacted the management of breast cancers. Additionally, advanced imaging techniques have allowed precise location of tumors, tracking of photosensitive drugs, implants, fixtures etc. Medical technology include a number of modalities used to save and improve human lives. From latex gloves to advanced imaging systems all come under medical technology domain each one with significant importance. While the list is endless, Imaging modalities, In-vitro Diagnostics, and Critical Care Solutions are of great significance. In the preventive care segment medical devices have a significant application in screening and early diagnostics. Additionally, medical devices are being used in complex procedures where the clinical outcomes have now significantly improved the quality of care and treatment which earlier had low success rates. Therefore with improved clinical outcomes, there is a decrease in the lifetime cost of care. The Indian medical device market has grown at a substantial rate. However the Indian medical device market represents only 1.7% of the global market. Most of the medical devices are imported from other countries, there are very few manufacturers in this space who provide accessible and affordable technology and are domestic players in the country. However, the medical devices market faces several key challenges that are hampering the growth of this industry. First and foremost there is a need for an independent regulatory authority for medical devices. Steep price cuts discourage manufacturers to develop advanced technologies due to an uncertain environment affecting the growth of the segment and patient care. There is also a high dependence on medical devices manufactured from other countries that discourage domestic players to run a sustainable business in India. The medical devices market also faces a shortage of trained professionals and clinical staff that are required for the operating, servicing and repairing of medical devices. Policy makers should develop flexible regulations to favour indigenous manufacturing of health technology products. Medium scale manufacturers must be granted certain waivers, or provide financial assistance to encourage local manufacturing of healthcare technology products so that dependence on imported equipment can be reduced. Government can introduce certain reforms in the education system so that highly able healthcare professionals are produced. Pan Indian schemes like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Ayushman Bharat’ must be made more diverse to look into issues that hold back the growth of healthcare industry in the country.

Newborn Screening: A Step For Congenital Genetic Disorder Detection

Newborn screening (NBS) or neonatal screening is a procedure of identifying babies with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). IEM are usually rare inherited disorders that can cause significant neonatal and infant mortality. These errors or disorders could lead to permanent neurological, cognitive, tactile, and physical damage in the child. Timely diagnosis and consequent treatment can help prevent cognitive and physical disabilities and life-threatening diseases.

The Vital Elements of Strength

Ms. Chandra Ganjoo, Executive Director & CPO - Trivitron Group, in conversation with Human Capital Magazine. Talent Management is the assured business strategy that will ensure the attraction of top talent in competition with other employers. 'Talent Management' is a concept of great significance in the Human Resource industry. We are now in an era where companies are aware of the wide range of HR functions and its vital role in business strategy and execution. The term 'talent management' has been growing in popularity as organizations which practiced this process have been recognized for their working pattern in recent years. Today, organizations no longer are far behind in visualizing the talent and knowledge of the employees, a significant intellectual asset can be drilled and obtained from each of the employees to enhance productivity. In short, talent management is the assured business strategy that will make certain the attraction of top talent in competition with other employers. The process fundamentally uses both integral perceptions and capabilities of individuals and information to help them adapt into a tool for gaining competitive advantage. It is vital to realize that organizations consist of people who add value through proven business processes, innovation, customer service, sales, and many other important activities. As an organization that endeavors to meet its business goals, it must make sure that it has a constant and cohesive process to retain productive and engaging employees and focus on their key strengths. Talent management actually prevents employees from being under-utilized who can else be put to additional use whenever required. There is no dearth of professionals but there is an acute shortage of able professionals worldwide. There are a huge number of management professionals, graduates from various B- Schools across the globe but how many of them are genuinely employable remains questionable. Hence, the shift from an ad hoc to a strategic talent management program can greatly aid a company in the achievement of its business objectives. To get the best people on board, it is also significant for the company to retain the image of a preferred employer. Being the company that people would want to work for is more than just hitting or exceeding market medium with an attractive pay scale. In addition to compensation, the factors affecting attraction and retention of workers are many. Through an integrated process of recruiting, assessment, evaluation, and hiring, the business brings the right people at the right time into an organization. One of the cornerstones of talent management today is Performance Management System. This seamless process is undergoing a transformation as organizations embark on automating goal alignment, assessment, coaching, development and succession processes and delves into the practices of performance management along with a specific focus on their impact in the business. A lot of companies currently follow the below training and performance support tools- The buddy system- A significant number of employees quit their job within the first year due to their experience bewilderment and confusion during their first few months. Hence to control this we have introduced the ‘Buddy system’ in the organization, in order to negate the ‘nerves’ that will accompany live call taking. It is essential to also have in-house trainers and coaches who are carefully selected and professionally groomed. Soft skill development- Essential development and ongoing support in developing advanced skills such as communication, listening, customer service or selling and ways to handle critical situations, also motivates the employee to a great extent. Hence, we identify the skills required to make an effective employee and also offer training and development in those key areas every now and then. Career management- Every organization has some distribution of the following people Aspiring, motivated and talented, performers High performers, leaders, mentors and assessors Steady workers (no desire to progress further), retiring staff (those due to leave in the near future) New starters in the organization, new role drivers in the organization Low performers The key to success remains in striking the right balance and develop the new starters and this aspiring, motivated talent with appropriate development opportunities. It can make good logic to use ‘stars’ as mentors to share tacit knowledge to these groups. Employees who are new starters and rising stars need a clear career trail so, that they have the sureness to move on internally and do not get exasperated or disillusioned; at which point they may become poor performers or leave their employer. It is also critical to satisfying the established 'stars' as they are key knowledge and expertise drivers in the organization. As the organization evolves over a period of time, there is an unceasing need to promote people into new positions. Succession planning is a vital function, permits managers and individuals to recognize the right candidates for a position. This function also must be aligned with the business plan to understand and meet requirements for key positions for about 3-5 years. While this is often a process reserved for managers and executives, it is commonly applied across organizations. Compensation and benefit is also an essential part of people management and an inseparable concept of Talent Management. Here organizations try to tie the compensation plan directly to performance, appreciation, motivation, and enhancement of employees so that compensation, incentives, and benefits align with business goals and business execution. There is a process involved in finding roles that require dedicated skill or knowledge and are critical to driving long-term competitive business advantage known as critical roles and gap analysis. Identifying critical skills and positions is a significant part as it allows us to target talent investments to ensure leadership continuity and mitigate risk from leadership attrition and it becomes essential during times of economic turbulence and uncertainty. We call this - critical talent management. Modifications in the world of work, changing employee expectations, advances in technology are key factors that are crafting a perfect platform and transforming the modern workforce & workplaces. Pitched against a backdrop of growing skills gaps, the pressure is on organizations to rethink their talent approach and systems.

How Radiation Exposure Has Been Causing Cancers In Cardiologists and Other Medical Professionals

The prenatal stage of any pregnancy is an extremely crucial phase. Abnormalities in the cardiac function in the fetal health during the first trimester of the pregnancy may cause miscarriage, congenital heart disease, and twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome. To diagnose abnormal cardiac function, it is essential to fully assess the healthy fetus in the first trimester. Fetal cardiac function assessment also has a role in determining normal physiologic characteristics and underlying pathophysiologic characteristics of fetal conditions. Despite the size of the small heart, fetal heart evaluation is feasible through an ultrasound. A fetal ultrasound, or sonogram, is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of a baby in the uterus. Fetal ultrasound images can help the health care provider evaluate the baby's growth and development and determine how the pregnancy is progressing. In some cases, fetal ultrasound is used to evaluate possible problems or help confirm a diagnosis. Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring has been extensively used to assess fetal well-being. The process of FHR monitoring is commonly used during prenatal screening to detect possible fetal health problems that may result in neurological damage or in some cases fetal death during labor. Statistics have shown that 1 out of every 125 babies is born with some kind of congenital cardiac defect. A broad range of ultrasound techniques has been applied for evaluation of fetal cardiac function including the fundamental image (2D image), M‐mode, conventional and tissue Doppler, 2D speckle tracking, Auto FHR, Dual Gate Doppler and 4D‐STIC. The first fetal ultrasound is usually done during the first trimester. If the pregnancy remains uncomplicated, the next ultrasound is typically offered during the second trimester, when anatomic details are visible. If the baby's health needs to be monitored more closely, additional ultrasounds might be recommended. First-trimester ultrasound examination is done to evaluate the presence, size, number, and location of the pregnancy. Ultrasound can also be used for first-trimester sonographic genetic screening, as well as screening for any abnormalities of the uterus or cervix. During early pregnancy (5-8 Weeks), it is very difficult to Measure Heart Rate in M mode as well as Dopper. Recent Advances in Ultrasound technology like Auto FHR allows Fetal Heart Rate to be automatically measured from B mode image with tracking of heart movement. Also, it is possible to observe fetal growth from the very early stage as this function is available in the transvaginal probe as well. In the second or third trimester, a standard ultrasound is done to evaluate several features of the pregnancy, including fetal anatomy. This exam is typically done between weeks 18 and 20 of pregnancy. This stage is crucial as an anomaly which was missed during the first trimester can be detected clearly during this stage. Conventional Doppler can be applied to obtain information about the blood flow through the heart. The fetal Doppler Ultrasound is commonly used for monitoring fetal heart rate and can also be used for identifying the event timings of fetal cardiac valve motions. Assessment of cardiac function with Doppler examination of the atrioventricular (AV) valves has been performed in early pregnancy proving that early diagnosis of the problem can help with early treatment. Those studies found that the proportion of the cardiac cycle occupied by both the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) and isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) reduces during the first trimester. Advancements in Ultrasound like Dual Gate Doppler enables to observe fetal arrhythmia, diastolic function (right heart / left heart) & cardiac output from both ventricles. Dual gate Doppler generates a full FFT analysis and display from two separate sample gates allowing measurement from two different locations, during the same cardiac cycle. In the case of Fetal Cardiac evaluation, estimation of the Regurgitation velocity is a very important parameter. But pulsed wave can't measure the velocity of more than 3 m/sec. Technology advancements in Ultrasound like CW in Convex / Linear Probe enable to observe regurgitation and measure high-velocity blood flow of stenosis area (up to 10 m/sec) which is difficult to evaluate by PW Doppler with a Convex probe. Advances in ultrasound technology have led to improved visualization of the fetus in the first trimester. A recent article on early fetal echocardiography in first‐trimester fetuses found that a satisfactory cardiac examination was possible in 95% of cases, with the sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 98% for detection of cardiac defects.

Around 20-30 percent of them require specialized investigation and treatment to prevent deaths due to heart ailments and coronary vascular diseases (CVD). According to a recent study published by Elsevier in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the death rate due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) declined by a significant 41 percent in the US between 1990 and 2016 whereas in India it rose by around 34 percent from 155.7 to 209.1 deaths per one lakh population in the same period. With an increase in cases of heart disease, there is a huge demand for a proper medical imaging system which will help in achieving accurate diagnosis and treatment in early stages. The evolution of ultrasound has transformed the medical imaging and diagnostic market. The diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound have grown beyond imagination, providing a plethora of medical specialties such as obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and cardiology, among others. An ultrasound scan is a medical test that uses sound waves to capture live images from inside your body. The unique feature of ultrasound makes procedures painless and patients aren't exposed to ionizing radiation. There are no known harmful effects when used as directed by the healthcare provider. In recent years, ultrasound has proliferated beyond the confines of radiology and is being increasingly used by non-radiologists for diagnostic purposes in a variety of clinical settings. The speed, safety and cost-effectiveness of ultrasound are some of the key features that give this technology an edge over the other imaging modalities. Cardiac ultrasound has also helped in evaluating the structure and function of the heart and associated vessels. The evaluation is one of the fastest, easy and painless that uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart and helps the doctor to understand a patient’s heart health. Color Doppler feature in ultrasound enables measuring of the velocity & direction of blood flow inside the various heart vessels and its chambers. The movement of cardiac muscles and valves can be measured with tissue Doppler. New and advanced ultrasound technology is available now which can measure E/Em, which is the ratio of blood velocity of the mitral valve to the blood velocity of mitral annulus in a single Doppler slice, which saves time and help to measure both the velocities in the same section. Measuring regurgitations of tricuspid, mitral and aortic valves is easier with new generation modified color flow and continuous wave Doppler. The use of focused cardiac ultrasound has also grown tremendously over recent years and is increasingly being performed and interpreted by intensivists, anesthesiologists and emergency medicine physicians. These imaging techniques are useful in establishing etiologies of cardiac dysfunction and compliment the physical examination and standard hemodynamic monitoring. Since its inception, cardiac ultrasound has made enormous progression with respect to image quality and quantity, various Doppler techniques, the transfer of data and offline calculations. Trans-thoracic & Trans-Esophageal ultrasound has also become indispensable in cardiac applications. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4975424/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29165778 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/heart-disease-deaths-rise-in-india-by-34-in-15-years/articleshow/64924601.cms Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become one of the leading causes of mortality in India.

Capillary Electrophoresis: New And Most Advanced Technology For Precise And Accurate

Hemoglobinopathies, multiple myeloma (MM), and diabetes are major diseases. Diagnosis and monitoring of these diseases require technologies that can separate and quantitate complex molecules of Hb variants, protein, and immunoglobulins and HbA1c. Precise and accurate quantitation of these molecules is important. Many instruments in clinical laboratories used for this quantitation are based on old technologies of the last century. Capillary electrophoresis is the latest and most advanced technology and is being used globally. This technology offers full automation, complete walkaway, and high throughput, which are of prime importance for most of the clinical laboratories. In this technology, complex molecules are separated according to their electric charge in a silica capillary and quantified directly at a specific wavelength of 415 nm. Detection of structural hemoglobin (Hb) variants and thalassemia diagnosis have become increasingly important in clinical laboratories. Early detection of variants such as HbS has important therapeutic consequences early in life and may lead to the appropriate application of preventive actions. Quantitative estimation of HbA2 is challenging because its level is low and only slightly increases in beta-thalassemia carriers, thus requiring a high degree of precision. Till recent years, separation of Hb fractions was performed using age old technologies. Capillary electrophoresis is now widely accepted for the separation of Hb fractions and presumptive Hb variant identifications. In this technology, Hbs are separated and quantified with precision and accuracy. Presumptive identification of an Hb variant is made by comparing its migration position against specific migration zones of known Hb variants found in a library. Most Hb variants are separated using this technology without any interference. Direct detection provides accurate relative quantification of individual Hb fractions, particularly HbA2 Hb for beta-thalassemia diagnostics. In addition, the high resolution of this technology allows the identification of the Hb S from Hb D and Hb E from Hb C. The HbA2 quantification can also be performed when Hb E is present. Capillary electrophoresis is the only advanced technique that provides a complete solution for monitoring MM. This technique has improved the quality of electrophoresis when compared to traditional methods used in clinical laboratories. Precise and accurate quantification of HbA1c is a primary requirement of diagnosis and management of diabetes. Capillary electrophoresis provides a robust and accurate technique for the quantification of HbA1c. Its high resolution allows the detection of hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia in parallel, giving useful information to the laboratories for the correct interpretation of the HbA1c values. HbA1c quantitation by capillary electrophoresis is not affected due to interference from maximum concentration of labile HbA1c, carbamylated Hb, HbF, bilirubin, and triglycerides. It is also not affected by varying Hb concentrations. In addition, no significant bias is observed with the HbA1c results in the presence of vitamin C. Capillary electrophoresis technology identifies the most common Hb variants and measures HbA1c without any clinically significant interference from Hb variants which may result in inconsistent results depending on the methodology used for measurement of HbA1c; results may be falsely elevated or lower. HbA1c quantified by capillary electrophoresis has traceability for IFCC and NGSP. It is also CE certified and US FDA approved. Capillary electrophoresis technology is being adopted by many clinical laboratories globally and is on a strong growth trajectory and offers more clinical value, efficiency, and throughput to clinical laboratories of all sizes.

Making it against the odds; the Trivitron way

"I was just earning Rs 2000 as salary in 1988, so failure didn’t bother me at all. If you have passion and combine it with hard work and dedication, someday you will succeed. That is the philosophy in which I started my ventures”, remarks GSK Velu founder and CMD of Trivitron Healthcare, the largest integrated medical technology company in India. Featured on CNBC-TV18’s “Luxury of Poverty: Winning Against All Odds”, Velu’s story is one of perseverance, risk and eventual success, a common theme in the storyline of the show. Born into lower-middle class family in rural Tamil Nadu, Velu did not have it easy. Despite scoring 97.5% marks in qualifying subjects, he failed to get into a Medical School in 1984. So he opted for next best option; he graduated in B.Pharma from BITS Pilani in 1988 and landed a job with IMI, firm distributing medical equipment. Within a few years of working at IMI, his employer offered him a partnership in the group firm Allied Healthcare in 1990. But things did not go as planned. Instead, he decided to work as a Regional head with Chiron Diagnostics in 1992 providing the spark to Velu’s entrepreneurial ambition. From the next five years, Velu travelled the globe and extensively in South east Asia and China. The international exposure helped Velu get a grasp on the market and provided him with the much-needed experience and confidence, all of which culminated into founding Trivitron Healthcare in 1997.

Dr. GSK Velu @ Economic Times on

Today, how many of us walk out from a doctor’s clinic without a prescription slip? None. Sadly, much ahead of receiving a diagnosis report in hand, most doctors tend to treat a patient’s symptom and prescribe medicines in haste. Even before reaching a consensus on the right medical condition, they freely administer antibiotics. It might be a compulsion on the doctor’s part also to satisfy the insatiable worries of the patient which leads to this. However, this negligence results in an alarming increase in antibiotic resistance and antibiotics gradually losing their viability to fight an increasing number of diseases.

Demand increases for consumer grade user experiences in healthcare sector

With changing times, we see a change in the way organizations reach out to their customers. From trying to understand their needs to giving them what they want, the relationship between the providers and the consumers has evolved. In the healthcare sector, times are changing in parallel. What we are witnessing today is the changing dynamics of the patient-doctor relationship. While the former wants to be more in control of their health, the latter wants to build an effective communication policy. It is here we see the transformation of people from being ‘patients’ to ‘consumers’. What we needed to see was a binding force and needless to say, it was technology that became the word of the hour. Consumer-grade user experiences in healthcare have made an entry at a time when the needs of the patients have become vital to tackle their health.

India's New Maternity Bill - Spreading Smiles

On March 9, the Parliament of India took a historic decision by increasing the paid maternity leave for women from 12 weeks to 26 weeks. There will also be a leave of up to 12 weeks for a woman adopting a child below the age of three months. Crèche facilities for companies with more than 50 employees are yet another laudable initiative. The decision will empower women in their work lives as well as contribute towards the health and wellbeing of both the mother and the newborn child. With this move, the government is sending a strong message to the society that biological commitments should not become a hindrance to pursue one’s personal goals irrespective of gender. So, India now has become the third best country in terms of the duration of maternity leave given to women.

India Union Budget 2017: Reactions from Dr. Velu, Chairman & Managing Director, Trivitron Healthcare

This budget announcement comes as a mixed bag for the Indian medical devices industry. It has concentrated a lot on macro health, however no concrete measures are specified to accelerate ‘Make in India,’ especially in the medical devices sector. It is heartening to hear that new rules will be formulated to support the medical devices industry and this move will significantly bring down the healthcare costs to the common man. But what we need to still wait and watch is whether the Indian manufacturing segment will be benefited in any way as part of all these moves since we are still a 70% import-dependent industry. Unfortunately honorable Finance Minister in his budget statement  has not addressed Indian medical device manufacturing industry's request for a nominal duty protection of at least 10% for all items with export of over more than 5 crores and at least 7.5 % for rest. It would be good if the following aspects are taken into consideration while drafting new rules for medical devices sector- Ban import of second hand medical equipment and electronics to ensure safety of patients by way of protection from Radiation or inaccurate results by validation, calibration and testing. Just like we do not allow import of second hand cars fearing the loss of huge investments in automotive sector, government should be more diligent when it comes to people’s health. Government should also look at giving a 15% preferential pricing for all Indian origin medical devices. To sum it up, as someone aptly said, "Let's put India First to Make India First ".

Zero customs duty on medical device to kill Make in India program: GSK Velu

India is one of the top twenty markets for medical devices in the world and is growing at a rapid pace. At present, the medical device industry is at a critical stage. The medical technology sector can make great contributions in terms of economic growth, job creation and enhanced innovation in a more conducive environment. The ‘Make in India’ campaign is a major boon to the medical technology industry. At present, 70 percent of the medical equipments used in India are imported. With the government promoting the Indian manufacturers, we can significantly bring down the import dependency thereby reducing the healthcare costs.

Make in India- a dream or reality?

An article by Dr. GSK Velu Chairman & Managing Director, Trivitron Healthcare. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India (MII) Policy turned 2 years old, the Indian manufacturing industry is on the move to set a firm foothold, globally. Elevating India to become a hub of manufacturing, the government of India has strategic plans put in place to pump in hefty investments to the country. Fostering innovation in all sectors, PM’s MII pillars focused on the following aspects- improving the ease of doing business by de-licensing and de-regulation, enabling infrastructure such as industrial corridors and opening up FDI. However, in order to bring in an adequate amount of investments and solicit robust growth in the manufacturing industry, the business environment in India itself needs to be more conducive. This policy, if implemented rightly, has significant scope for transforming the overall development of the country. An article by Dr. GSK Velu Chairman & Managing Director, Trivitron Healthcare.

Nipping disability in the bud

An article by Dr. Geraldine Carrard, CEO Labsystems Diagnostics, Trivitron Healthcare Enterprise. A recent report from World Health Organization indicated 15.3% of the world’s population deals with one form of disability or the other. However, the last census report submitted by India indicated only 2.21% of the Indian population are disabled. If one thinks the figures mean we can all heave a sigh of relief now, think again. Case studies reveal the census officials hardly asked people questions on disability, thinking most of them would feel uncomfortable answering them. Therefore, it can be discerned the actual figures can be much higher. An article by Dr. Geraldine Carrard, CEO Labsystems Diagnostics, Trivitron Healthcare Enterprise.

Safety in an Operation Room

New Delhi, December 23, 2016: An operating theatre, also known as an Operating Room (OR) or operating suite, is a facility within a hospital where surgical operations are carried out in a sterile environment. A patient’s safety in the operation room is of utmost importance. There are rare cases of grave mistakes such as operating on a wrong patient, wrong operation and wrong side/site. Among these rare cases- operation on a wrong body part or inappropriate medication, tops the chart when it comes to healthcare issues. Operation Room Safety has been a belief and practice with the given set of guidelines to make it a successful act. The objective is to spot the risks present in the operating rooms and be prepared with a list of actions to minimize these potential hazards. Patient security in the operating suite starts before the patient enters the operation theatre. The biggest threat to a patient’s safety in the Operation Room is communication breakdown, information loss, increased work load and competing tasks. The modern innovation in operating rooms has helped in making a better and safe environment for the operation room staff and doctors as well. The current practices in Modern Operation Rooms are Preoperative verification process and Site marking. These rooms are extensive, simple to clean, sufficiently bright, with overhead surgical light, austere controlled room temperature and humidity. The air supplied into the operating room is Hepa filtered air, channeled through the laminar airflow to maintain the operating theater's sterility. These modern operating rooms are supplied with dedicated pendants for the Anesthetist and Surgeon. Pendants are designed to have services like electrical, Gases and IT/ data points and also trays for equipments, thus reducing the cluttering of equipment trolleys around the operating table. Operating rooms today are designed with built in storage cabinets in the OR, this helps to reduce staff movement in and out of the operation theatre and thus helps in maintaining positive pressure at all times during the surgery. Positive pressure is monitored with a Magnehelic pressure Gauge which shows the differential pressure of the operation room compared with the corridor. All modern operation theaters should follow the Norms and Guide lines of NABH, HTM2025 and Ashrae. Operation rooms are supposed to maintain a hygienic ambience. In the present day, there are a lot of cases that are prone to infections due to unhygienic Operation room environment. Surgical site infection (SSI) represents greater than 15% of all clinically gained contaminations and Nosocomial diseases in surgical patients. The rate of surgical contaminations is firmly impacted by operating theatre quality, as well. A protected and salubrious working theatre is a situation in which all wellsprings of contamination and any miniaturized scale ecological changes are kept entirely under control. This can be accomplished just through watchful arrangements of upkeep and occasional checks. Many universal exploratory social orders have created rules related to the natural components of working theatres (positive weight, trades of air changes every hour, ventilating frameworks with HEPA filters and many more), and issuing proposals on medicinal services related to disease, including SSI, concerning reconnaissance techniques, intercession to effectively avert SSI and ways to deal with observing the usage of such methodologies. In this way, the anticipation of SSI requires a multidisciplinary approach and the dedication of all concerned, including that of the individuals who are in charge of the outline, design and working of operating theatres. A patient’s safety can be improved by implementing training on a model, hands on specialization opportunity and careful selection of nurses and the members who are involved with the Operation procedure. The selection procedure must not be limited to an interview. A practical examination, to assess the new candidates should be made mandatory. Such tests should be taken while letting them perform on simulation models. That would be the true measure of estimating a candidate’s credibility. We strongly believe operation room Safety has the scope to improve if due importance is given to the intricate details such as- Proper housekeeping ( disinfecting of OT after surgery) Regular air sampling Maintaining positive pressure in the OR/ OT Following proper OT protocol applicable to Surgeons, other visiting OT staff.

How Trivitron plans to take on MNCs in multiple segments of medical devices

The trick is to acquire businesses globally and achieve a critical size, says CMD Velu. If ambition is the path to success, GSK Velu, CMD of Trivitron Healthcare, is set to take the company soaring. The simple and courteous Velu, in a conversation with BusinessLine , talks about why the company, which has made an impressive turnaround from an almost 100 per cent trading company as late as 2010 to a big medical devices manufacturer today, is focusing on more than two birds at a time. Excerpts: Trivitron has been making aggressive acquisitions globally. What are the changes that have taken place in the recent past? For the past five years, our focus has been on changing from trading to manufacturing. And that has happened more or less. We have nine factories in five locations — Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Helsinki and Ankara. A lot of investments have gone in. We were a 100 per cent trading company in 2010 and today, 85 per cent of our profits and more than two-thirds of our revenues come from manufacturing. But, of course, we left certain large trading businesses, such as Boston Scientific and Fresenius, many of which we built in India. So, we lost a lot of trading revenues and converted all of that into manufacturing. We could have had both, but somewhere we had to focus on becoming a manufacturing company. What about the future? We want to focus on manufacturing, which also means contract manufacturing. In the next two-three years we want to become a large contract manufacturer for other multinational companies. That, I think, will be a big growth driver. Also, we intend to do acquisitions, both in India and abroad. In this financial year, we have done one in Turkey and we are looking at a few more in the cardiac devices space. Currently, most of our revenues are coming from two verticals — imaging and diagnostics. We have limited presence in intensive care and operating room and in renal care. We are also looking at implantable devices as an area of growth so that we truly become the only surviving multi-modality medical device company. Big MNCs already have a significant presence in the multi-modality space. Why do you feel that is the right business model instead of focusing on one segment? We have taken a similar strategy (as MNCs) because the segment is the same. If you go to a hospital, your marketing, sales and logistic costs are the same. But if you put more products in your basket, it makes the business model more interesting from the very long-term perspective. In the short term, of course, it is very challenging to really invest in each segment and grow. You want to focus on contract manufacturing as a growth area. However, most MNCs already have manufacturing capacities in the region, such as in China or Taiwan, and prefer to import... That’s a problem. Many MNCs have that philosophy because a lot of companies have made large investments, particularly in China. That’s why we are asking the government to incentivise manufacturing and disincentivise imports. Internationally, the import duties on medical devices are 15-20 per cent but in India it is 0-5 per cent. So, we are saying there should be a difference between raw material import and finished goods import so that manufacturing flourishes. Last year, this change happened for some devices such as x-rays, CT and MRI machines, ultrasound machines, but it didn’t happen for diagnostic equipment and many other medical devices. There should be a clear 15-20 per cent difference between raw material imports and finished goods imports. That will motivate multinationals to either manufacture on their own or go for contract manufacturing, like in the pharma industry where no company can survive in India without local manufacturing because the finished drugs are at very high import duties. We are surviving mainly because of our export income and international revenues. Why have you taken the M&A route to growth? We feel medical technology cannot be done just by greenfield expansion. This is a very brand-conscious industry. When you buy something from a GE or a Roche, you already feel it’s good. So, we need to create a brand. Many start-up companies are created to be acquired by MNCs. Our focus will be the same. If we see some good start-ups we try to acquire them. We are still a marketing and services company. For generic products, such as x-ray or ECG machines, we want to do it on our own. But, for products where there is a huge technology element, we have only two choices — either find a small or medium-sized technology company and acquire it or go to a large multinational and collaborate with it. That’s the model we are following. Trivitron is witnessing about 10-15 per cent growth every year. What are your projections, going forward? Organically that is the kind of growth we expect to sustain. But inorganically, we expect that to speed up our growth. We first wanted to consolidate imaging and diagnostics. Now we are looking at whether we can get into one more area of medical technology, which is cardiac devices. It will probably take another five months. How are your acquisitions impacting your presence domestically and globally? That is a dual strategy. For a few products we want to be a global player. In another 10-15 products we want to be an emerging market player. When we acquired (Finland-based) Ani Labsystems we didn’t try to cater to the European market. We got it for technology — such as newborn screening and point-of-care technology —which is necessary for growth markets. Now we are doing technology-absorption in India. What about domestic competitors? In India most device companies are single-focus. There are no Indian companies that are present in multiple segments. That is the most difficult dream for us as a medical device company. We are present in five verticals and we will enter another couple in the future. Once these seven verticals, which are today in their infancy, reach a certain size, we can see the scale. All the MNCs (GE, Siemens, Philips, etc) did this — they acquired businesses and achieved the size. We are trying to do that in a smaller scale in India. We have been able to achieve some scale in in-vitro diagnostics and imaging, both in India and globally. In India, we are present in other areas, such as renal care, operating room and intensive care. In terms of market share we are still in single digit in most of these product lines. You have set up the infra. What comes next? In the past three years we focused on going from 0 to nine factories. For the next few years, our focus will be on ensuring that our factories’ capacity utilisation, which is right now at 5-10 per cent, goes up to 50-60 per cent. If they reach even 50 per cent capacity utilisation, we will already be a Rs.2,500-crore company. The trick is to acquire businesses globally and achieve a critical size, says CMD Velu. If ambition is the path to success, GSK Velu, CMD of Trivitron Healthcare, is set to take the company soaring. The simple and courteous Velu, in a conversation with BusinessLine , talks about why the company, which has made an impressive turnaround from an almost 100 per cent trading company as late as 2010 to a big medical devices manufacturer today, is focusing on more than two birds at a time. Excerpts: Trivitron has been making aggressive acquisitions globally. What are the changes that have taken place in the recent past? For the past five years, our focus has been on changing from trading to manufacturing. And that has happened more or less. We have nine factories in five locations — Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Helsinki and Ankara. A lot of investments have gone in. We were a 100 per cent trading company in 2010 and today, 85 per cent of our profits and more than two-thirds of our revenues come from manufacturing. But, of course, we left certain large trading businesses, such as Boston Scientific and Fresenius, many of which we built in India. So, we lost a lot of trading revenues and converted all of that into manufacturing. We could have had both, but somewhere we had to focus on becoming a manufacturing company. What about the future? We want to focus on manufacturing, which also means contract manufacturing. In the next two-three years we want to become a large contract manufacturer for other multinational companies. That, I think, will be a big growth driver. Also, we intend to do acquisitions, both in India and abroad. In this financial year, we have done one in Turkey and we are looking at a few more in the cardiac devices space. Currently, most of our revenues are coming from two verticals — imaging and diagnostics. We have limited presence in intensive care and operating room and in renal care. We are also looking at implantable devices as an area of growth so that we truly become the only surviving multi-modality medical device company. Big MNCs already have a significant presence in the multi-modality space. Why do you feel that is the right business model instead of focusing on one segment? We have taken a similar strategy (as MNCs) because the segment is the same. If you go to a hospital, your marketing, sales and logistic costs are the same. But if you put more products in your basket, it makes the business model more interesting from the very long-term perspective. In the short term, of course, it is very challenging to really invest in each segment and grow. You want to focus on contract manufacturing as a growth area. However, most MNCs already have manufacturing capacities in the region, such as in China or Taiwan, and prefer to import... That’s a problem. Many MNCs have that philosophy because a lot of companies have made large investments, particularly in China. That’s why we are asking the government to incentivise manufacturing and disincentivise imports. Internationally, the import duties on medical devices are 15-20 per cent but in India it is 0-5 per cent. So, we are saying there should be a difference between raw material import and finished goods import so that manufacturing flourishes. Last year, this change happened for some devices such as x-rays, CT and MRI machines, ultrasound machines, but it didn’t happen for diagnostic equipment and many other medical devices.

80% of medical equipment imported, doctors say

COIMBATORE: Almost 80% of the medical equipment used in hospitals is being imported, said doctors here on Tuesday. This invites an import duty of 2.5% and heavy maintenance charges which run into lakhs of rupees, making treatment using them expensive. Speaking at the first FICCI TANCARE meet held here, doctors said there is an urgent need to make medical equipment in India. FICCI's healthcare panel convener GSK Velu said medical equipment worth Rs 40,000 crore is bought every year. "However, hardly Rs 5,000 crore of that equipment is bought from Indian companies," he said. "Even simple equipment like glucometers, ECG machines, x-ray machines, MRI machines and angiomachines are imported," he added. Doctors said import of equipment not only invites a severe import duty but also heavy maintenance charges. "The duty on imported machines ranges anywhere between 0% and 20% which is huge. Maintenance cost for an imported machine worth Rs 5 to Rs 6 crore is between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 30 lakh," said Dr Nalla G Palaniswami. "This makes treatment prohibitively expensive," he added. "There is doubt about the quality and longevity of Indian manufactured equipment. This should be dispelled," said Dr K G Bhakthavathsalam, chairman of KG Hospitals. Doctors appealed for a change in policies by the Indian government. "Two decades ago, China was in the same boat, importing all their medical equipment. But, today they manufacture all their equipment," said Velu, who is also the managing director of Trivitron Healthcare. "This is because they have a policy that says all companies outsourcing their manufacturing to them should also share their technical know-how. India has no such rules," said Dr Palaniswami. Speaking about the growth of the pharma industry, Velu said India which was once importing medicines now was producing surplus and exporting them too. The medical community appealed to the government to increase expenditure on healthcare. "We spend hardly 1% to 5% of our GDP on healthcare, which is why hardly 25% of patients get treated at government or NGO-run hospitals. 75% of the burden is borne by private hospitals," said Velu. Dean of the Coimbatore Medical College and Hospitals Dr Edwin Joe admitted that the government health set-up needs to be strengthened step-by-step.

In this direction, increasing of the tax exemption for health insurance is a welcome measure.

Will Budget help local medical device makers? Rema Nagarajan, TNN

Given the government's stated commitment to encouraging manufacturing, it would be interesting to see whether its first Budget addresses an obvious anomaly in how medical devices are taxed. As things stand, the system is skewed heavily in favour of companies that import devices rather than those that manufacture locally. Not surprisingly, about 80% of the medical devices market consists of imported devices, which have added substantially to the cost of healthcare and, hence, to what patients have to shell out.

Pap Smear turns over a leaf

One out of every four cervical cancer patients in the world are Indians medical experts feels the need for more effective diagnostic technology. Evolution of science is changing the face of earth in leaps and bounds, where yesterdays advancement is becoming obsolete. Epidemic diseases have cure today, diagnosis of life threatening diseases like Cervical cancer has progressed with the advancement of technology. Studies show that more than 90% of the women are diagnosed with cervical cancer are having Human Papillomavirus (HPV). However Pap smear is more than 60 years old and this technique is found to have limitations. This includes, more false negative rate which can then progress and when detected can cause more costly medical interventions.Thin Prep is significantly more effective than conventional Pap smear for the detection of epithelial Lesions.While HPV does not mean a woman will contract cervical cancer but it is important to be aware of HPV and its links with cervical cancer, which constitutes to infect 6.2 million each year .More than 25% are found in India. The Thin Prep test can also be used to screen for HPV. The Thin Prep system uses liquid based technology to address preparation and screening errors, which account for the majority of the Pap smear inaccuracies. Benefits of Thin prep over conventional : Decrease in sampling error  In conventional pap testing - a) Cells not collected properly , b) Cells are not transferred on slide completely , c) Cells are not preserved completely leading to drying artefacts. All these are avoided in Thin Prep Pap test thereby causing Higher cell yield  as more than 80% cells are discarded in conventional technique. Decrease in transportation errors  Slide Breakage is avoided , mislabelling is minimised. Decrease in screening errors  false negative rate is minimised. Diagnostic accuracy is far more than the conventional. Decrease in interpretative errors, Due to excellent fixation of cells , interpretation is made very easy leading to decrease in repeat pap smear testing. No ambiguous reports. Decrease in inadequacy / unsatisfactory rate. Decrease in limiting factors like blood mucous , inflammation etc. Additional testing of HPV is possible in same vial. No need to collect another sample thereby decrease patient trauma. Glandular disease detection rate is superior.

Health Marvel, Special Feature-ChennaiFrontline, Aug 10, 2012.

Making Medical Equipment : G.S.K.Velu is a dapper young man, radiating confidence. He is the managing director of Trivitron Healthcare, headquartered in chennai. Trivitron which began as a small distribution company, has today grown to become a Rs. 500 crore enterprise. It is the largest medical technology company of Indian origin. We have multiple products. Our focus areas are cardiology, imaging and diagnostics, he said. Its focus is also on Critical Life Support Solutions (CLSS) and ophthalmology. Trivitron distributes medical technology products such as CT scanners, MRI scanner and digital X-ray machines, digital mammography, bone densitometers and manufactures Ultrasound machines, ECG machines, Color Dopplers, Operating Theatre equipment, X-ray machines and accessories, radiation protection apparel, and so on at its technology park located in Sriperumbudur, and Poonamallee (both near Chennai), Pune and Mumbai. Initially, we started as a 100 percent distribution company. In past few years, we have taken a lot of initiatives to manufacture medical equipment. One third of our revenue comes from our manufacturing initiatives,.Velu said.Velu founded Trivitron in 1997 and co-founded Metropolis in 1999. Today,Metropolis has more than 100 laboratories across India, West Asia and Africa. He established Maxivision, Chennai which, he says, has grown to become one of the top five eye care chains in India. A joint venture between Apollo Hospitals and Trivitron healthcare has led to the establishment of WHITE Dental Spa, a chain of dental care centers.Although Trivitron is both distributor and manufacturer of medical technology products, it focusses more on manufacturing and innovation now, Velu said. Almost 90 percent of the medical technology products, right from the simple glucometer, malaria kits, tuberculosis kits to high end machines were imported by India. Velu said: My vision is to provide access and affordability in medical technology. We want to do that by mergers and acquisitions, and also through our initiatives and joint venture. We, therefore, set up the medical technology park at Sriperumbudur.The Poonamallee unit has a division for CLSS where it manufactures products needed for intensive care units, opeating rooms and modular operating theatres. Out of Trivitron's current turnover of Rs.500 crore a year, its own manufactured products account for Rs. 150 to Rs. 200 crore.

The same year, I started two companies, Trivitron Medical Systems and Trivitron Diagnostics in Chennai with 20 lakh rupees of my savings. Chiron had been taken over by Bayer by then, and we started off by distributing Bayer's medical devices in South India. The company was doing well and in 1999, I started another company: a chain of pathology labs called Metropolis. However, 2000 was a very tough year for us. Since we were only distributing Bayer products, we were being dictated to"

Manufacture medical equipment locally.Payal G

India may be advancing as a favoured destination for medical tourism. However, one industry which can make the medical service even more affordable is not being nurtured the way it should be is that of manufacturing of medical equipment indigenously. The country is the capital of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, glucometers, ECG machines, patient monitor and stress test systems are still imported.This step will not only help reduce the huge import of sophisticated instruments but also bring in more people from foreign countries, benefitting the nation economically. Every year, we import materials worth Rs. 25000 crore. This shows that we have not realized the importance of having manufacturing units in our own country. China, for example, has several incentives for companies which set up manufacturing units, sometimes even legally binding them to have such units on their soil. We are well developed in terms of applied sciences like pharmaceuticals, information technology, bio technology, mechanical engineering and electronics, which will only help us grow well towards this direction. Said Dr.Velu, Founder and managing director, Trivitron Group of Companies. If we have local manufacturing of the equipment we need, the cost of medical services could be brought down by 30-35%.  added Dr.Velu who is also heading manufacturing subcomittee of CII MLED division. Even today, the industry is governed by Drugs and Cosmetics Act. If a separate department was to oversee the working of the industry and we take aggressive initiatives towards its development we could have a big industry in the next ten years, he said.

Trivitron to set up institute for training paramedical staff, doctors. Sushma N

Medical equipment maker Trivitron Healthcare will set up an institute to train para medical staff and doctors to use sophisticated medical devices. With rural health the problem is more of skill than access or affordability of quality equipment, and the company is doing this to fill the gap said Dr.GSK Velu, Founder, Trivitron Group of Companies.Several doctors and paramedical staff are not qualified to use medical equipment, so they learn on the job at hospitals and this brings a risk of error, he pointed out.The Trivitron Skill Development Institute for Medical Technology will be set up initially in Chennai, Bangalore and Pune, and the company will over time, open centers across the country. we will have skill labs where doctors can come and practice the procedures, Dr.Velu said.The institute will conduct 3 month, 6 month and 1 year courses on using medical equipment and conducting basic procedures. It will, for instance, conduct a renal care physical course after which a doctor will be skilled enough to man a dialysis unit, said Dr.Velu.The company is in talks with several universities to work on this project, and is considering roping in the National Skill Development Corporation as well, Dr.Velu said. Trivitron healhtcare will float a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for this and it will be run by a different management team.

Medical Device firms seek duty on foreign cos.

With less than a month to the Union Budget, Indian medical device manufacturers want the government to encourage local manufacturing by imposing duties on the import of foreign medical devices. The Indian medical device market is estimated at `32,000 crore, of which, 80 per cent is imported. India has become the dumping ground for foreign manufacturers, said Dr G.S.K. Velu, the managing director of Trivitron Healthcare. Since medical devices are critical for patient care, Indian hospitals preferred equipment from foreign companies. The situation has changed as the domestic equipment is now comparable to foreign ones. Dr Velu wants the government to levy duties on the foreign makers to force them to set up manufacturing facilities to India. In India, the government has not yet recognized us as an industry. There is neither a proper regulatory system nor incentive for to manufacture in India, Dr Velu said, pointing out that China has successfully promoted its local manufacturers in this space.
