In this keynote address at the 1st Annual Meeting of Regional Centres under the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) and Materiovigilance Programme of India (MvPI), Dr. Jitendra Sharma, Managing Director of Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), presents the remarkable journey of AMTZ and outlines the future of vigilance systems in India.

He shares how AMTZ evolved:

📍 From a forest site in 2018
💰 From a seed fund of ₹10,000
🏭 To the world’s largest medical technology manufacturing cluster
🏢 180+ companies | 7,000+ workforce
📦 1,200+ medical products
📈 ₹18,000+ crore annual turnover

The talk highlights AMTZ as an aggregator of national institutions, including the Kalam Institute of Health Technology, supporting:

Health Technology Assessment (HTA)

Price monitoring for Government of India

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

GeM specifications

WHO collaborations

🔬 Key Themes from the Address
Materiovigilance – A New Dimension

Unlike pharmacovigilance, materiovigilance deals with machine response and device performance, including:

Implant material failure

Robotic surgery latency

Oxygen concentrator zeolite purity

Polymer quality in orthopaedic implants

Cyclotron & radioisotope supply chain

India’s MedTech Manufacturing Revolution

AMTZ now manufactures:

MRI systems

Ventilators & oxygen concentrators

Dialysis machines & ECMO

Orthopaedic implants

RTPCR kits (10 lakh/day during COVID)

Nitrile gloves (10 lakh/day)

🤖 AI in Pharmacovigilance

Dr. Sharma emphasizes the integration of:

Digital Pharmacopoeia

AI-driven signal detection

Data-light predictive analytics

National ADR expansion through “Each One Adopt One” innovation model

🌍 Vision for the Future

Expansion of PvPI & MvPI to all districts

Radio-vigilance & advanced device vigilance

Inclusive participation across specialties

Indigenous MedTech for national healthcare security

The session concludes with the announcement of the Prof. W. K. Gupta Centre for Materiovigilance at India’s first MedTech University at AMTZ.
