Background:
KIMS Hospital is the first in India to use the Aplio i800 ultrasound system from Japan, which helps doctors diagnose and treat cancers more safely and accurately.
The Aplio i800 is an advanced system that combines endoscopy and ultrasound to give a clear view of internal organs. Around the world, this technology is used to spot cancers early, guide precise biopsies, and sometimes allow diagnosis and treatment in the same procedure.
KIMS Hospital said bringing this technology to India shows the growing need for less invasive diagnostics and better clinical decision-making. The hospital said that using the Aplio i800 reflects the vision of its founder, Professor Dr. Achyuta Samant, who has worked to make advanced healthcare tools available to patients in India.
To celebrate the opening, the Department of Gastroenterology conducted a practical workshop, which was attended by physicians and specialists in India, as well as in Odisha.
The workshop provided the participants with the practical experience of working with the live procedures and the professional instructions on how to use the system. Through this move, KIMS Hospital will be taking international medical standards to the local patients. Authorities claimed that the Aplio i800 will aid in the early detection of cancers and aid in the treatment of patients, particularly in those regions where the sophisticated diagnostic devices are inaccessible.
This innovation milestone demonstrates that KIMS Hospital is dedicated to every aspect of innovation in healthcare technologies, with global technology and local knowledge to provide patients with safer, quicker, and more precise services.
