AIIMS Delhi Installs da Vinci Robot for Robotic Surgery Training

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi has installed a cutting-edge da Vinci Surgical Robot at its Skills, E-learning and Telemedicine (SET) facility to expand training in robotic-assisted surgery, officials said on Saturday.

The advanced system, provided by Intuitive Surgicals under a memorandum of understanding, will be used exclusively for training surgeons and medical students in robotic techniques.

“With the installation of this robot, AIIMS Delhi is now the only institution in the country with two surgical robots dedicated purely to training,” the institute said in a statement. The facility already houses a Hugo training robot supplied by Medtronics.

Officials said the move will help enhance the skills of surgeons, strengthen medical education, and advance the adoption of minimally invasive robotic procedures in India.
