Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), India’s premier medical technology manufacturing ecosystem, has announced the establishment of a new satellite centre of the Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR). The collaboration aims to advance public health research, healthcare management training, and innovation-driven capacity building within the country’s rapidly growing medtech sector.

The IIHMR satellite centre at AMTZ is envisioned as a hub for academic programs, policy research, leadership training, and skill development for healthcare professionals, industry leaders, and government stakeholders. By integrating world-class education with state-of-the-art medtech infrastructure, the centre will help develop specialized talent capable of addressing India’s evolving healthcare challenges.

This initiative reflects AMTZ’s broader mission to create a holistic ecosystem that goes beyond manufacturing and actively promotes research, knowledge exchange, and industry–academia partnerships. The presence of IIHMR at the MedTech Zone is expected to foster deeper collaboration in areas such as health systems management, digital health, medical technology adoption, and regulatory readiness — ultimately contributing to stronger healthcare delivery across India.

Leaders from both organizations highlighted that the partnership would create new opportunities for experiential learning, internships, joint research projects, and executive development programs. By situating academic expertise directly within a dedicated medtech manufacturing park, the collaboration bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world healthcare innovation.

The establishment of the IIHMR satellite centre further strengthens Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone’s position as a national hub for medical technology development, training, and innovation. It underscores the Zone’s commitment to supporting India’s vision of self-reliance in medical devices while nurturing a future-ready healthcare workforce.
