Himachal seeking to boost healthcare through facilities for robotic surgery
Shimla: Himachal Pradesh is witnessing a transformation in the health sector, as Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's vision of providing world-class medical facilities to the people is now becoming a reality, an official release said. The Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities at Chamiyana in Shimla is set to become the first medical institute in the state where surgeries will be performed using the latest robotic technology. A state-of-the-art surgical robot , procured at Rs 28 crore on the lines of AIIMS Delhi, has already arrived at Chamiyana, and the installation process will be completed by July, after which surgeries using this advanced technology will begin. Principal of the Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities at Chamiyana, Dr Brij Lal, today here said that robotic surgery would benefit both patients and doctors. He explained that only a very small incision is required in robotic procedures, which means less blood loss and minimal need for transfusions. The patients experience less pain, recover faster and can be discharged from the hospital sooner. The surgeons, too, will benefit from this technology as robotic systems would provide them better precision and control. They do not feel fatigued even during long surgeries, which allows them to perform more procedures in less time. The system also offers a clear and magnified 3D view inside narrow and complex areas of the body and reduces the chances of any errors, the release said. Following the directions of the Chief Minister, the robotic surgery equipment will soon be delivered to Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College, Tanda as well. Thereafter, the machines will be installed in IGMC Shimla, Medical College Hamirpur and other government medical colleges in a phased manner. This will benefit thousands of patients across the state and reduce the need to travel outside Himachal for expensive surgeries, the release said.

Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialties to be Himachal's first to perform robotic surgery
The Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities (AIMSS) at Chamiyana in Shimla is set to become the first medical institute in Himachal Pradesh to introduce surgeries using cutting-edge robotic technology. A state-of-the-art surgical robot — procured at a cost of Rs 28 crore on the lines of AIIMS Delhi — has already arrived at the institute. The installation process is expected to be completed by July, following which robotic-assisted surgeries will commence. Dr Brij Lal, principal, AIMSS Chamiyana, said that robotic surgery will offer significant benefits to both patients and doctors. 'Robotic procedures require only small incisions, resulting in minimal blood loss, reduced need for transfusions, and faster recovery for patients. They experience less pain and are discharged sooner,' he said. Doctors too will gain from the technology, as robotic systems enhance surgical precision and control. 'Surgeons experience less fatigue, even during prolonged operations, enabling them to perform more procedures efficiently. The technology provides a clear, magnified 3D view of narrow and complex areas within the body, significantly reducing the risk of errors,' Lal added. Meanwhile, a government spokesperson said in a bid to further strengthen healthcare infrastructure in Himachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is set to visit Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College (RPGMC), Tanda. As part of the visit, a detailed presentation will be made on the ongoing and proposed improvements in medical services and infrastructure at the institute. 'The CM will also engage in an interactive session with the faculty members to gather feedback and suggestions, focusing on enhancing healthcare delivery at this key medical institution,' the spokesperson added.
