Hospital joins with Intuitive to install da Vinci systems to support enhanced healthcare delivery and patient outcomes across India.

The CK Birla Hospital®, a multispecialty hospital in Delhi NCR, has taken a significant step towards supporting enhanced healthcare delivery and patient outcomes by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG), a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery. This MOU will introduce the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system at the CK Birla Hospital®, Delhi NCR, making advanced medical technology accessible to a broader population in the capital.

With this MoU, the CK Birla Hospital® is ready to usher in a new age of surgical excellence and patient-centered care. This collaboration is an important step in achieving CK Birla Hospital’s and Intuitive’s shared goal of improving healthcare through access to and incorporation of innovative minimally invasive technologies.

The installation of Intuitive’s fourth-generation robotic-assisted technology is set to support surgery, enabling precision and, in some cases, improved patient outcomes, such as reduced post-operative complications. The innovative features of the da Vinci system, such as advanced instrumentation and vision, empower surgeons with superior control and visualization during surgical procedures.

Commenting on this pivotal collaboration, Mr. Vipul Jain, Chief Business Officer, the CK Birla Hospital® said, “Our dedication to offering global healthcare standards drives us to adopt advanced medical innovations.
