"India and other growth geographies have unique needs. We must meet the criteria that healthcare professionals demand in these growing markets, such as durability, dealing with interrupted power supplies, limited radiology technician time per patient, fast and easy-to-read diagnostic output, and affordability. Our ‘Designed and Made' in India products tick all these boxes," said Krishna Kumar, President, Philips Healthcare India.
