In today's landscape, as public awareness of diseases rises Land the pursuit of improved post-operative care intensifies, there has been a notable uptick in the demand for advanced surgical technologies such as robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). Patients are increasingly seeking treatments that offer quicker recovery, reduced complications, and improved quality of life.

The escalating burden of cancer in India emphasises the urgent requirement for innovative health care solutions. According to a report by the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Cancer Registry Programme, the number of cancer cases surged to 1,496,972 in 2023 from 1,461,427 in 2022. Simultaneously, India has seen significant strides in medical technology, particularly in the past decade. Notably, in the field of surgery, the introduction of RAS stands out as a cutting-edge technology offering a promising avenue for tackling the complexities of cancer treatment through more precise and minimally invasive procedures.

Five years of post-pandemic fashion

By the end of that week, they had set guidelines for various countries to follow. Comparable to the Spanish flu of 1918, more than 7 million people have died of Covid according to official data.
