Getinge part of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant
“It is an honor to be associated with a project of national importance, we are especially proud that in line with the ethos of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the modular Operating Theaters was entirely made in India,” says Aruna Nayak, Managing Director, Getinge, India. She further states: “We are also extremely happy to have delivered the project in time with highest level of quality demonstrating our expertise”.
India commissioned its first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant on September 2, 2022, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi commissioning it.
To cater to the needs of medical emergency on board, the aircraft carrier is equipped with a mini hospital of 16 beds, two operating theatres (OT) and a CT scan machine.
Getinge is proud to play an integral part in the construction of the medical infrastructure at INS Vikrant. Getinge installed IN2, its modular and integrated OT along with Moduevo, ceiling support units and Volista surgical light, at INS Vikrant.
“We are happy to equip INS Vikrant with best in class medical facilities which would extend best healthcare delivery in mid seas during critical time. Getinge will look forward for such collaboration to serve the nation by providing its expertise, solutions and technologies,” says Bhaskar Bheemarao, National & Regional Sales Director, Getinge, India.
INS Vikrant has been designed by Indian Navy’s in-house Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited, a public sector shipyard under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways. Vikrant has been built with state-of-the-art automation features and is the largest ship ever built in maritime history of India.
