GUWAHATI: In a major boost to healthcare in Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed the launch of Medi JARVIS, a locally developed robotic surgery device, on April 13th today at the State Cancer Institute. The move is a revolutionary leap in the state's medical technology sector.
Through a post on his official X account, CM Sarma expressed his excitement about the new technology, stating that Medi JARVIS is designed to assist "the Iron Men and Women of real life – doctors!" He emphasized the machine's ability to perform complex surgeries with precision, which is expected to enhance surgical outcomes and streamline procedures in the state.
Medi JARVIS' launch aims to address issues that surgeons face in performing complex surgeries, offering them greater control and accuracy. The technology is a showcase of Assam's determination to introduce cutting-edge technology into its health care system, with patients and medical professionals being the beneficiary.
In a separate matter, CM Sarma praised the collaborative efforts of the Assam Police and community leaders from minority groups in maintaining peace in the region. This acknowledgment came after intelligence reports suggested potential unrest due to protests against the Waqf Amendment Act. CM also documented the work of law and order, like reaching out to the Masjid communities in the area to maintain the region peaceful. In spite of the fears, the state was peaceful, with hardly any protests being organized, showing the strength of outreach in maintaining order.
