Hyderabad, April 16, 2025 — In a groundbreaking development set to reshape surgical education in India, the KIMS Group of Hospitals has partnered with global healthcare technology leader Medtronic to introduce the country’s first-of-its-kind remote surgical training initiative.
This innovative program leverages a specially designed remote technology platform to provide advanced, real-time surgical training to young and aspiring surgeons across KIMS hospitals located in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The initiative aims to enhance clinical expertise in key specialties including General Surgery, Oncology, Urology-Gynaecology, and Endoscopy.
The remote training system facilitates interactive learning by connecting trainees with expert educators and mentors, enabling them to observe, communicate, and collaborate on complex procedures virtually. More than 100 surgeons are expected to benefit from this program, marking a significant step in bridging the skill gap and promoting consistent, high-quality surgical practices across the region.
“This collaboration reflects our commitment to strengthening India’s healthcare ecosystem by empowering the next generation of surgical talent,” a spokesperson from KIMS Group stated. “Through this initiative, we are not only addressing the growing demand for surgical training but also making quality education more accessible.”
Medtronic echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of leveraging technology to make a lasting impact on patient care outcomes. The partnership signifies a shared vision to advance medical education and improve surgical accessibility across India.
By embracing cutting-edge training methods, the KIMS-Medtronic alliance is poised to set new benchmarks in the field of remote surgical education—an innovation with the potential to influence global practices in the years to come.
