AIIMS Bhubaneswar Introduces Robotic Knee Replacement Facility
In a groundbreaking achievement, AIIMS Bhubaneswar has launched its state-of-the-art robotic knee replacement facility, marking a significant milestone in advanced healthcare in Eastern India. This facility, the first of its kind in the region, sets a new standard for precision and cutting-edge technology in orthopedic surgery.
The first-ever robotic knee replacement surgery was successfully performed on a 66-year-old female patient by the department of Orthopaedics. Under the expert team at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, the surgery was a success, and the patient is currently in stable condition.
Dr. Ashutosh Biswas, Executive Director of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, highlighted the facility’s significance, emphasizing that advanced healthcare is now accessible to all social strata. "Robo-assisted surgeries are a game-changer for many, and now they’re available to all, thanks to our dedicated team and government initiatives like Ayushman Bharat," he said.
Earlier, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Jagat Prakash Nadda inaugurated the Central Research Laboratory at AIIMS Bhubaneswar on April 12. According to a release, the facility promises to elevate the research capabilities of AIIMS Bhubaneswar to new heights, empowering doctors, researchers, and scholars in developing innovative healthcare solutions and conducting impactful medical research.
In another major development, the Union Health Minister laid the foundation stone of the Multi Utility (Gastronomy) Block, envisioned to cater to the growing needs of the institute’s students, faculty, employees, and the public. This modern infrastructure will address space constraints and offer multiple services under one roof, enhancing operational efficiency and community engagement.
As part of the visit, Nadda also launched the new AIIMS Bhubaneswar website, integrated with several public-friendly features and digital services. The EHS Clinic and AMRIT Pharmacy were also officially inaugurated, improving accessibility to essential health services and affordable medicines.
