Such patients will not have to travel to big cities and will still be able to get timely guidance and treatment from experts. Under this facility, the first tele-robotic surgery has been successfully performed at Community Medical Centre, Jamnagar, Gujarat under the leadership of the hospital’s Director of Urology-Oncology, according to the list released by Reliance Foundation Hospital.
Speaking at the launch was Group CEO – Healthcare Initiatives and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Tarang Gyan Chandani said: “Advanced healthcare should not be limited by geographical boundaries.

Through our tele-robotic surgery program, we are using advanced robotics and safe digital infrastructure Providing complex surgical care in India. “By enabling our surgeons in Mumbai to perform surgeries remotely for patients across the country, we are taking world-class expertise where it is needed most.”
