NDTV Prime Interview AVI Healthcare – Tackling Neonatal Mortality: Aired on 14th October 2014

Neonatal Healthcare India: AVI Healthcare was featured on NDTV Prime in a special segment highlighting innovative Indian healthcare startups working towards improving neonatal care and reducing infant mortality.

The programme showcased AVI Healthcare’s early manufacturing facility and highlighted the company’s vision of developing affordable, high-quality neonatal medical devices that make advanced newborn care more accessible, particularly in underserved regions.

During the interview, Mr. Chirag Gala, Managing Director of AVI Healthcare, spoke about the growing need for neonatal intensive care equipment beyond major cities. While many NICU facilities were concentrated in urban areas, there remained a significant demand for reliable and affordable neonatal medical devices in semi-urban and rural regions of India, as well as in developing countries across Africa and the Middle East.

The feature also showcased AVI Healthcare’s range of neonatal care solutions, including Infant Incubators, LED Phototherapy Units, Neonatal Resuscitation Equipment, and Ventilators. Particular emphasis was given to the company’s innovative TransNANO Transport Incubator, designed to enable the safe transport of newborns without the need for a dedicated neonatal ambulance. Its lightweight and portable design represented an important step towards improving access to neonatal care where specialised transport facilities were limited.

Another key focus of the programme was AVI Healthcare’s commitment to innovation and research. The interview highlighted the company’s ongoing work on developing a portable neonatal monitoring system capable of measuring multiple clinical parameters within a single battery-operated unit. This reflected AVI Healthcare’s continuous efforts to design practical and cost-effective technologies that support healthcare professionals in delivering better neonatal care.

The NDTV Prime feature also provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at AVI Healthcare’s manufacturing operations, showcasing the dedication of the team involved in designing, assembling, testing, and delivering neonatal medical devices. Although recorded during the company’s early years in its 1,500 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, the programme captured the passion, innovation, and commitment that laid the foundation for AVI Healthcare’s continued growth.

Today, AVI Healthcare has grown into a leading Indian manufacturer of neonatal and critical care medical devices, serving hospitals across India and international markets. This feature remains a proud milestone in our journey and reflects our long-standing commitment to innovation, quality, and improving newborn healthcare.
