Meril, a global medical technology and education leader, has expanded its healthcare education network by launching the Meril Satellite Academy in Kerala’s port city, Kochi, India. This move reinforces the company's dedication to advancing surgical standards and empowering healthcare professionals in India and worldwide.

In the fast-changing world of medicine, continuous learning and hands-on training are vital for healthcare providers. Recognising this necessity, Meril Satellite Academies aim to balance theoretical learning and practical implementation, offering professionals a platform to enhance their skills and engage in global collaboration.

Positioned within Kerala's robust healthcare infrastructure and its emphasis on quality patient care, the Kochi Academy is strategically placed to meet the educational needs of healthcare professionals in Southern India.

Meril’s educational network already includes two prominent academies: the Vapi Academy in Gujarat, serving as the central hub for Meril's global educational initiatives, and the Delhi Academy, which caters to healthcare professionals in Northern India with specialised training programmes and advanced facilities. The company has ambitious plans to expand further its educational reach with the upcoming launch of new academies across the globe, including locations in Madrid (Spain); Philadelphia (USA); Seoul (South Korea); Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia); and Kolkata, (India).
