HealthcareProcurement & Vendor Management4HighSurgical staff (doctors, nurses, technicians in operating room)$ implied
Indian hospital staff are forced to use low-quality, cheap domestic disposable surgical gowns and drapes that tear easily, have poor adhesion, and cause fluid breakthrough during long surgeries.
Existing cheap local disposables fail on quality—tearing, poor adhesive, fluid breakthrough—while premium MNC brands are expensive. No domestic alternative offers both reliable quality and affordable pricing.
