India’s first govt-run robotic surgery training facility soon at AIIMS Delhi-Education News
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi is collaborating with India Medtronic Pvt Ltd to develop a robotic training facility.
It aims to provide clinical education and teach surgical robotic skills on a not-for-profit basis to residents and faculties of AIIMS and other teaching institutes with MeHNAT (Medtronic Hugo and AIIMS training) in robotic surgery, an official statement from AIIMS Delhi stated.
The government-run hospital had already floated an expression of interest to establish the facility on its campus.
The facility is the first-of-its-kind for medical professionals in a government institution in India. The robotic training centre is also the first faculty-led procedural training facility in the Asia-Pacific region.
How will the facility help healthcare workers?
Through technical and procedural training, medical workers will be upskilled on robotic-associated minimally invasive surgeries. This will widen the knowledge of the healthcare community and enhance patient outcomes by utilizing procedural and evidence-based medical education activities.
The facility will be spread over 500 sq ft of space and provide academic areas, cadavers/tissues for training, and a group of trained faculty, among others.
