Highlights
- AIIMS Delhi has inaugurated innovative robotics training facility for surgeons
- It offers best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery
- It aims to deliver clinical education and imparting surgical robotic skills on a not-for-profit basis to residents and senior doctors of AIIMS
AIIMS, the premier medical institute of the country, has kickstarted its innovative robotics training facility for healthcare professionals from 2 May onwards.
The said facility has been inaugurated at the SET, i.e., skill, e-learning, and telemedicine facility and convergence block, at AIIMS New Delhi and is in collaboration with India Medtronic Private Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc.
The new centre offers best-in-class robotic training to surgeons
The state-of-the-art surgical robotics training facility aims to provide surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery and will pave the way toward offering enhanced surgical solutions to patients.
As per the medical institute, “This is in partnership with India Medtronic Private Limited. This centre will provide surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery which includes simulation as well as wet lab training. It is the first-of-its-kind collaboration for setting up a robotic training facility in any government or public body.”
Further, the said training will help in delivering both clinical education and imparting surgical robotic skills on a not-for-profit basis to residents and senior doctors of AIIMS as well as other teaching institutes with MeHNAT (Medtronic Hugo and AIIMS training) in robotic surgery.
“The aim is to train healthcare professionals on robotic-associated minimally invasive surgeries through technical and procedural training. This will enrich the clinical community and enhance patient outcomes utilising procedural and evidence-based medical education activities,” an AIIMS officer said on Tuesday.
Here, it must be mentioned that this centre has been conceptualised and set up under the leadership and vision of Dr M Srinivas, Director, AIIMS-New Delhi. The launch of this robotic-assisted facility has put the medical institute once on the global map as it is the only government-aided medical institution to offer simulation-based robotics training in this part of the world.
