The Indian Rubber Gloves Manufacturers Association (IRGMA) has criticized unscrupulous importers for stockpiling and repackaging low-quality, non-medical gloves as medical gloves before the Medical and Surgical Gloves (Quality Control) Order, 2024 (QCO) takes effect. This practice endangers patient safety and undermines domestic manufacturers. IRGMA urges immediate government action to halt these illegal imports and protect India’s healthcare industry.
