Cardiologists seek review of ban on single-use devices

The Kerala chapter of the Cardiological Society of India has urged a review of the DGHS order banning the re-use of single-use medical devices. Cardiologists argue that permitting the regulated re-use of scientifically proven safe devices can significantly reduce angioplasty and cardiac intervention costs. This change would help make advanced cardiac care affordable and accessible to a larger section of ordinary patients across the country.
