IDEA THAT MADE AN ACHIEVER Indian Medical Device manufacturing sector has remained nascent, leading to tremendous import dependencyleading to high cost of medical products and services in India. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh aims to establish country's rst Medical Technology Manufacturing Park at Vishakhapatnam with a goal to form an internationally recognized manufacturing hub for medical devices, reduce import dependency, make Andhra Pradesh a leader in medical technology exports, generate employment, and contribute to volume generated cost reduction of medical devices for patients. T H E B U S I N E S S M O D E L&K E Y ACHIEVER STEPS Medical devices manufacturing requires certain high investment facilities which are too capital intensive for individual manufactures leading them to either not undertake production requiring these technologies or send their products abroad for process up-gradation and value addition. AMTZ would have such facilities in-house to reduce manufacturing process costs, and being located well connected with Railways, Roadways, Waterways and Airways with near presence of Industrial Corridors, Port and Harbour, logistical costs will also reduce. The park will provide for 200-300 modern state of art independent manufacturing units, each of a ready to use plot area of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 acres. Facilities included are:  Component Testing Centre  Electro-magnetic Interference Laboratory  Medical grade Low Vacuum Molding, Cabinet Molding, Injection Molding Centres  3 D Designing and Printing for Medical Grade Products  Sterilization & Toxicity Testing Centre  Radiation Testing Centre KNOW US  Gamma Irradiation facility  Rapid Prototyping Centre  Industrial R & D Centre Our roadmap for the next ve years is  Incubation Centre ready with year-wise deliverables. First  Convention Centre & Expo Halls year leads to formation of AMTZ,  Warehousing  Certifying & Regulator’s ofce  Other facilities commonly required in manufacturing of medical devices CHAMBER OF SECRET The Foundation Stone was laid on August 19, 2016 by Shri N.
