Max Healthcare group medical director Dr Sandeep Budhiraja was quoted by the news publication as saying: “As a part of this collaboration, we are also planning to start a fellowship programme and publish research papers in robotic-assisted surgery.”

To become a TPO centre, the hospital should be a clinical observation site for more than two specialities and include a robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) programme with over three specialities.

In addition, the health system should embrace robotic technology with advanced instrumentation.
