AIIMS New Delhi and India Medtronic Private Limited have announced the opening of a state-of-the-art surgical robotics training center at AIIMS, New Delhi. The center will provide surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery, which was first introduced in India in September 2021. The new training partnership was announced in the presence of Dr. Minu Bajpai and Michael Blackwell, bringing together innovative technology and decades of surgical expertise to train surgeons nationwide and expand access to RAS benefits.
