This advancement is expected to significantly improve the quality of medical care in Assam. Patients requiring advanced surgical procedures, who previously had to travel to other states, can now receive treatment closer to home. This not only reduces the logistical burden on patients but also positions Assam as a hub for advanced medical care in the Northeast.

The successful integration of robotic surgery at GMCH could pave the way for more such technologies in Assam’s healthcare sector. It also opens up opportunities for training and research in robotic surgery for medical professionals in the region.
