Cancer is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in India today. With over 1.4 million cancer patients being diagnosed annually, the need for biopsies has multiplied significantly. Other diseases such as Chronic Kidney Disease, have over 16 per cent prevalence within the Indian population.
There is a significant unmet need to provide the latest technologies and tools for procedures such as Biopsies, AV Access and Deep Vein Thrombosis treatments.
