TOKYO -- Japanese logistics company Konoike Transport will launch a service in India to clean and sterilize used medical equipment from hospitals, leveraging its experience at home to tap into a growing overseas medical market.
Konoike will collect instruments such as forceps and shears through a local group company, and clean, pack and sterilize them before returning them to the hospitals they came from. With many hospitals in India not well-equipped to handle such processes themselves, outsourcing to a specialized company can ensure quality while also saving money.
