“This lab marks a significant step toward creating a structured, high-impact training ecosystem that enhances skills and ultimately improves patient care,” said Dr Sandeep Budhiraja, Group Medical Director, Max Healthcare.
Medtronic executives said the collaboration underscores their focus on education-led healthcare improvement. “By working with Max Healthcare, we seek to empower healthcare professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to deliver better outcomes,” said Mandeep Singh Kumar, Vice President and Managing Director, Medtronic India.
The lab will also serve as a platform to educate patients and caregivers on the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, which typically allows faster recovery, smaller incisions, and fewer complications.
