The government of Delhi has inaugurated a first-of-its-kind Medical Innovation Centre (MIC) at Maulana Azad Medical College. The centre aims to accelerate digital-health research, AI & robotics, biomedical engineering and medical-device design underlining a major push to transform public-sector healthcare with home-grown innovation.
Glimpse:
The MIC was officially opened by the Delhi Health Minister, Pankaj Kumar Singh, who described it as a landmark for public healthcare and a “milestone for a government medical college.” The facility is designed to foster work in diagnostics, integrated data systems, AI-enabled disease control, and affordable medtech development with the broader ambition of positioning Delhi as a “health-tech capital” of India.
On 5 December 2025, the Medical Innovation Centre at MAMC was officially inaugurated marking the first time a government medical college in India has set up an innovation-focused R&D & incubation hub. The opening was followed by the launch of a three-day medical-technology event named MedTechX.
The MIC will provide infrastructure, mentorship, and incubation support for clinicians, researchers, students and biomedical-engineering teams to develop digital-health solutions, medical devices, diagnostics, AI/robotics interventions and data-driven disease-control tools. The collaboration behind this initiative includes higher-tech partners such as IHFC-IIT Delhi giving access to expertise in cyber-physical systems, medtech-engineering and smart-health technologies.
According to Delhi’s Health Minister, this centre is aligned with national goals of “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” signalling a commitment to self-reliant, indigenous development of healthcare technology. The MIC is expected to accelerate development of diagnostics, affordable medical devices, digital-health platforms, and support translational research from lab to clinical use particularly in public healthcare settings.
“This centre will help address multiple challenges through research, digital-health innovation and medical-device development a historic milestone for public-sector healthcare.”
