Punjab Newsline, Shimla/Dharamshala, January 24-
During his winter visit to Kangra district, CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, in a State Cabinet meeting held at Dharamshala, approved a budget of Rs. 28 crore for the installation of robotic surgery systems at Tanda Medical College, modeled after AIIMS Delhi. This initiative marks a significant leap forward in the healthcare sector for Kangra district.
The introduction of robotic surgery at Tanda Medical College and AIMSS Chamiyana will enable advanced
surgical services in urology, general surgery, gynecology, cardiothoracic surgery, and gastro surgery, enhancing the quality of care for the people of Kangra and Shimla districts and nearby districts.
The Chief Minister mentioned that each year, 9.5 lakh patients from the state are forced to seek diagnostic
and treatment services outside, leading to a loss of Rs. 1,350 crore in GDP annually due to the inadequate
healthcare facilities in the state’s government institutions.
