A country like India will benefit from the inclusion of robotic surgeries on a mass scale as it will lower the infection rate and ensure faster recovery
The medical world has witnessed rapid changes in the Medtech category. In the times of COVID-19, medical manpower scarcity became a challenge, and to keep non-COVID operations going on, the Medtech industry improvised and innovated, ensuring uninterrupted medical services.
A few months into the lockdown, hospitals increasingly moved towards robot-assisted surgeries to deal with huge backlogs. Though robotics surgery is indeed one of the great technological success stories of present times, it has not been used extensively because it is cost-prohibitive.
With increased research in the usage of robotics for surgeries, the entire landscape of the healthcare system is changing. After the first patient was operated on in 1998 using a surgical robot, more than a million robotic surgeries have been completed successfully in the last 20 years with a continuous evolution in technology.
