New Delhi, June 24

The ICMR and Department of Health Research (DHR) on Friday unveiled ICMR-DHR Centres of Excellence for fostering MedTech innovations at seven IITs in Mumbai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Madras.

These centres of excellence for medical device and diagnostic development have been set up with the aim to develop products/technologies in synergy with the requirements of the National Health Mission, Ayushman Bharat and public health programmes, an ICMR statement read. Currently. the Indian healthcare sector has 80 per cent import dependency for its medical device needs. The ICMR-DHR centres will bridge the gap by translating research into action.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
