Abstract

India is a nation that constitutes approximately 17% of the World’s population. People from around the world flock to India for surgeries and advanced treatment as the facilities are top-notch yet affordable. Prior to 2005, India did not have a regulatory policy for Medical Devices, while Drugs and Cosmetics were brought under the ambit of Regulation. In 2017, the Indian government issued a set of guidelines for the Regulation of Medical Devices. This guideline will be taking effect in 2018. This paper aims to explain the regulatory process in India and offer a perspective on the same.
