The National Institute of Ophthalmology (NIO) expanded its services and facilities in Pune. The institute has launched two new clinics and has integrated surgical simulation equipment in order to reach more patients and upgrade its services for them.
Dr Aditya Kelkar, Director, NIO Super Specialty Hospital, said, “In the past three decades, our organisation has been at the forefront of the revolution being brought within the ophthalmology sector. We have always strived to integrate new technology and accelerate the progress being made in research and development within the sector. Therefore, this expansion of our services and facilities is in line with our goal to provide our patients with access to the best eye healthcare solutions. We are confident that we will be able to help several communities across the city and beyond address any health issues that might arise in the future.“
NIO has launched a new vision centre at Balewadiphata, Baner. This centre will make it a more accessible point for patients in or around Baner who need consultations, diagnosis and preliminary eye care services.
Besides this, the organisation has recently upgraded its facilities in its Shivaji Nagar hospital with the installment of advanced clinical simulation equipment. The new equipment has been integrated for the training of their resident doctors and postgraduate fellows. The state-of-the-art equipment will be utilised in teaching resident doctors how to diagnose patients when they come to their clinics. “The equipment initially gives a random case situation which the students or the doctors have to diagnose. This is an efficient way of practising and learning rather than diagnosing real patients which can be very time-consuming,” Dr Kelkar added.
