Healthcare is an integral part of human life where people try to adopt innovative products and procedures for their healthy life. The advancement in the healthcare system over the past century is largely due to the ongoing innovations in medical science and technology. The delivery of modern healthcare system depends on an expanding interdisciplinary team of trained professionals from vast areas of biomedicine and materials science. It is, therefore, very important to have a close interaction of material scientists, biologists, pharmacologists and medical practitioners, so that a well defined goal and direction may be pursued towards the healthcare scenario for the world community.
