Allows global tenders for procurement of 354 medical deveices amid concerns over lack of domestic options

The government has allowed global tenders to be floated for procurement of 354 medical devices after the health ministry raised concerns over the lack of domestic options, a move that could ease access to state-of-the-art medical devices which are not available in the country, said people familiar with the matter. The finance ministry issued a notification to this effect last week, they said.
