Vattikuti Foundation will offer 100 paid fellowships to super specialist surgeons, over the next five years
Vattikuti Foundation, Vattikuti Technologies and Intuitive Surgical, which have instituted a ‘Roving Robot’ project, recently showcased its products in Kolkata.
The Roving Robot was show cased to surgeons and administrators at Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratishthan Hospital. It will be showcased in IPGMER and SSKM Hospital (Jan 30-31), NRS Medical College & Hospital (Feb 1-3), Kolkata Medical College & Hospital (Feb 4-6) and Swastha Bhawan (February 7).
Currently, Eastern India has two surgical robots all concentrated in Kolkata hospitals–Apollo Gleneagles Hospital and Tata Medical Center.
Part of the Foundation’s mission is also to offer 100 paid fellowships to super specialist surgeons, over the next five years, so they can become robotic surgeons. In this, they are making good progress. Vattikuti Foundation also organises Robotic Surgeons conference every six months, with over 150 robotic surgeons participating and sharing their experience and techniques.
