In a spotlight‑exposé aired on NDTV India (17 July 2025), regulators and industry experts raised alarm about massive imports of Chinese medical‑device equipment into India. The concern centres on IoT‑enabled systems, such as monitors, imaging machines and diagnostics—that may allow remote access, malware insertion or data exfiltration, thereby posing both patient‑privacy and national‑security threats. With India importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of such devices annually, authorities have launched a probe to assess vulnerabilities, trace indirect routing through third‑countries and expedite regulatory oversight.
