Delhi, 24 December 2025 :
Medtronic, a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced the launch
of its pioneering Mobile Surgi-skill Lab- a state-of-the-art platform designed
to equip healthcare professionals across India’s underserved tier 2 cities with
critical competencies in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This initiative
underscores Medtronic’s unwavering commitment to fostering clinical excellence
and advancing surgical care standards beyond metropolitan centers.
Medtronic Mobile Surgi-skill Lab represents a transformative
approach to medical education, bringing world-class training directly to
hospitals and clinics in cities where access to specialized surgical training
has historically been limited. Equipped with cutting-edge simulation technology
and hands-on learning modules, the surgical lab will serve as a Mobile center
of excellence, enabling surgeons and healthcare professionals to develop and
refine their minimally invasive surgical skills without disrupting their
clinical responsibilities.
“This initiative embodies our vision of equitable
healthcare advancement across India,” said Mandeep Singh Kumar, managing
director & vice president, Medtronic India, “By bringing surgical
training to the doorstep of medical colleges in tier 2,3 cities, we’re creating
a far reaching influence that elevates surgical standards, improves
patient outcomes, and strengthens the entire healthcare ecosystem in
underserved regions.”
Key Features of the Mobile Surgi-skill Lab:
The lab features state-of-the-art simulations equipped
with realistic training models, video-assisted surgical instruments, and
interactive learning platforms. The comprehensive curriculum covers fundamental
and advanced MIS techniques, offering specialized training tracks tailored to
the evolving needs of regional healthcare facilities. Each engagement includes
hands-on practice sessions, mentorship from expert faculty, and post-training
support to ensure sustained skill development.
Bridging the Skill Gap
Access to specialized surgical training has long
remained concentrated in metropolitan hubs, creating disparities in clinical
capabilities across regions. The Mobile Surgi-skill Lab directly addresses this
gap, ensuring that young surgeons and resident doctors in medical colleges in
tier 2,3 cities can access the same quality training as their counterparts in
larger centers. This democratization of medical education is expected to
significantly enhance surgical safety, reduce complication rates, and foster
adoption of minimally invasive techniques across regional healthcare systems.
Commitment to Clinical Excellence
“We believe that skill excellence is not a
privilege—it’s a necessity,” added Mandeep Singh Kumar. “This mobile
training initiative reflects our deep commitment to empowering every healthcare
professional, regardless of geographic location, with the knowledge and
practical experience needed to deliver exceptional patient care.”
The organization has already secured partnerships with
leading healthcare institutions and regional medical associations to ensure the
Mobile Surgi-skill Lab reaches the communities that need it most. The initial
roadmap encompasses visits to 10 tier 2 cities over the next 12 months, with
expansion planned based on feedback and demand.
