New Delhi, Aug 20 (SocialNews.XYZ) Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday said that along with being the 'Pharmacy of the World', India will also become the 'Hospital of the World'.

Speaking at the inauguration of CII's 12th MedTech Global Summit here, Goyal was quoted in a statement as saying that "we will also become the 'Hospital of the World', where the world will be able to use facilities, high quality medical care and high quality treatment that India will provide to the rest of the world".

According to the minister, the medical devices industry will be at the forefront of bringing technology to India and "ensuring our rightful place in global trade for equipment and global engagement with hospitals internationally".
