KUALA LUMPUR: India-based global medical technology (MedTech) company Meril has launched its first Meril Academy in Malaysia, strengthening its global clinical education network while reinforcing the country’s position as a regional hub for healthcare innovation and medical education.

The newly established Meril Academy, Kuala Lumpur, is designed as a global platform for clinical education, bringing together healthcare professionals through expert-led learning, simulation-based training, hands-on workshops, structured learning pathways and clinical collaborations.

Meril said Malaysia was selected for the academy due to its strategic location, well-developed healthcare ecosystem and growing role as a regional centre for medical innovation, enabling the company to support healthcare professionals across Malaysia and the wider ASEAN region.

President of Global Government Affairs at Meril, Dr Vibhav Garg, said innovation and education are complementary pillars in advancing healthcare.

“While innovation drives the development of advanced medical technologies, education empowers healthcare professionals to apply them with confidence and precision.

Meril said its academies conducted more than 150 educational programmes and workshops in the 2025-2026 financial year, benefiting over 6,000 healthcare professionals through expert-led education, hands-on training and scientific exchange.

With the opening of its Malaysian academy, the company now operates a network of 11 academies worldwide, comprising four in India and seven in Germany, Spain, Brazil, Türkiye, Russia, the United States and Malaysia.
