India must replicate
Israel’s technological
interventions in
healthcare to bring a
paradigm shift
Perhaps it is prudent
now, to perceive this
is an opportunity
to leverage the
progress Israel has
made in science and
technology, for helping
meet some of our own
goals, particularly
in healthcare. Some
medical device
innovations like 3D
Electro-anatomical
mapping (similar to
flight GPS location-
tracking, but inside the
heart) to view and treat
rhythm disturbances
in the heart, 2D
fluoroscopic imaging
to 3D non-radiation
based imaging, and
advancements in
the field of stem
cell therapy have
emanated from Israeli
companies.
Israel’s enabling
policy environment
has clearly provided
the right thrust
for indigenous
manufacturing,
something India
needs now more
