HYDERABAD: Dr Sangita Reddy, joint managing director, Apollo Hospitals, and Jayesh Ranjan, principal secretary (IT) jointly inaugurated RoboGynIndia 2023, here on Saturday.

The two-day conclave on gynaecology is being organised by Association of Gynaecological Robotic Surgeons of India (AGRS), in association with Intuitive Surgical for International Conference.

The conference is specifically addressing how technology is clinically relevant to medical practitioners.

Dr Arnold Adviuncula from Columbia University, New York, said, “Gynaecological surgery is going through a revolution worldwide, with RAS technology offering unparalleled precision and improved patient outcomes. As we witness the remarkable growth of RAS adoption in various regions globally, it is essential for India to embrace this transformative technology to address the increasing demand for advanced gynaecological care.”

“By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing through initiatives like RoboGynIndia2023, we aim to empower Indian surgeons with the expertise and skills needed to leverage robotic-assisted surgery effectively. This will also pave the way for a future where women across the country can access minimally invasive solutions for their healthcare needs. I appreciate AGRS for taking up such a novel initiative,” he said.
