AMTZ launches IBC to cater to global health emergencies
Visakhapatnam: Moving towards global healthcare resilience, Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ) has launched the International Biomed Cross (IBC) to serve as a critical international lifeline for maintaining and restoring medical devices during disasters and health emergencies. This initiative is poised to redefine emergency medical response by deploying technical expertise where it is needed most—supporting hospitals, clinics, and emergency units in regions with limited biomedical support infrastructure. At a time when the world is facing increasingly frequent climate-induced catastrophes, armed conflicts, and public health crises, the IBC emerges as a global community of biomedical and clinical engineers committed to ensuring that broken medical equipment never becomes the reason for a lost life. The official launch of the International Biomed Cross took place at the recent 'MedTech Policy Mahotsav' in New Delhi. Spearheaded by Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone and supported by the Universal Clinical Engineering Federation (UCEF), the IBC was inaugurated by Jitendra Sharma, Managing Director and Founding CEO of AMTZ, in the presence of leading stakeholders from India's health and medical technology ecosystem. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Sharma said, 'In times of disaster, broken equipment is as deadly as unavailable equipment. The IBC is our answer to that gap. This is India's humanitarian and technological response to global healthcare disruptions.' The IBC will be powered by a growing global volunteer force of biomedical engineers and healthcare technology experts who will provide hands-on repair, maintenance, and remote support for medical devices during emergencies.

Man dupes investors via fake app, arrested
New Delhi: A 29-year-old man, identified as Jitendra Sharma, was arrested for duping people under the pretext of investment by creating a fake stock trading app . The accused, along with members of his gang, placed advertisements on Instagram and WhatsApp to lure victims. According to police, the complainant, Vinay Singhal, was targeted through social media and persuaded to join a fraudulent investment group. He was tricked into downloading a counterfeit trading app that closely resembled a legitimate one. Believing the scheme to be genuine, he transferred money to multiple bank accounts, relying on the high returns displayed by the fake app. Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer north) Nidhin Valsan said a raid was conducted in Palghar, Maharashtra, where Sharma was arrested. The gang developed fake trading platforms promising substantial returns to attract unsuspecting investors. Once the victims transferred funds, the money was swiftly diverted to accounts belonging to shell companies and individuals. To obscure the money trail, they used dormant bank accounts purchased from others and withdrew the funds before they could be traced. Sharma was posing as a managing director and was previously arrested in a cyber fraud case. TNN
