Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Teleflex Incorporated to establish a UroLift Center of Education for South Asia.
The initiative aims to equip medical professionals with in-depth training and knowledge on the UroLift™ System, a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Highlighting the initiative's clinical importance, Dr. Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, MD & CEO of Fortis Healthcare Limited, said, “The healthcare landscape continues to evolve, and more minimally invasive therapies continue to emerge. At Fortis, we always strive to offer superior technologies to our patients. This educational initiative associated with Teleflex is another testament to our commitment to quality patient care.”
