India has been forced to import costly equipment despite possessing expertise in medicine and cosmology among other areas centuries ago because it was kept a slave for more than 100 years, Principal Scientist in ISRO Dr A Shivathanu Pillai today said.
India was the origin of science and had been an expert in nanotechnology, medicine, surgery and cosmology centuries ago. However, being a slave country for over 100 years, it lagged behind in technological skills, necessitating import of costly equipment, he said.
Inaugurating a device, Spyglass DS, which offers high quality view of bile ducts of liver and ducts of pancrease at VGM Hospital here, Pillai said technology should benefit common man.
He said doctors in this tech savvy scanario, should be a technologist, having all types of equipment to support his practices.
Hospital Chairman Dr V G Mohan Prasad said SpyGlass was used to diagnose and treat chronic and acute diseases of pancrease like cancer and non-cancer diseases.
Elaborating on SMILE procedure, Dr. Rajesh BTJ, Medical
Director, Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital Indiranagar said, "With long hours spent on computers, there is a tremendous increase in refractive error incidence in the city. It makes the patient dependent on spectacles and also restricts them from leading an active life. SMILE-Small Incision Lenticule Extraction procedure is fourth generation laser procedure performed to treat myopic refractive errors up to -10 DS and also myopic astigmatic corrections up to -5 DC. SMILE procedure has the advantage of being a flapless surgery, eligible for all age groups and with better compliance. Above all it allows the patient to lead an active life."
In addition to this partnership, the eye hospital group has opened new facilities in the Hubli and Mysuru districts in an attempt to make Dr. Agarwal's a familiar name amongst the people of Karnataka. Through these facilities, the hospital chain aims to cater the best of eye care treatments to the people of the state.
