Market Overview

Ambulatory surgical centers have emerged as pivotal healthcare facilities that provide cost-effective and efficient alternatives to traditional hospital settings for several surgical procedures. These centers are designed to provide emergency facilities such as same-day surgical procedures. They need specific equipment to ensure optimal patient care and smooth operations. The various surgical equipment used in these centers includes operating room equipment like surgical tables, anesthesia machines, surgical lighting systems, electrosurgical units, and surgical instruments. Moreover, patient monitoring equipment includes vital signs monitors, electrocardiography machines, pulse oximeters, and capnography equipment.

The ambulatory surgical equipment market is accelerated by the government-led digital platforms that are supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). These platforms include U-WIN and e-VIN, which have strengthened India's immunisation ecosystem. Research studies implied that the U-WIN platform helped track immunisation services for 32 million pregnant women and 97 million children. Moreover, the e-VIN platform has enabled monitoring of cold-chain temperatures and vaccine stocks across 30,000 cold-chain points that cover over 650 million doses.
