AIIMS-Delhi Installs First Made-in-India Endoscopy System With Advanced Imaging Technology

The system is intended to assist clinicians in visualising gastrointestinal structures and identifying abnormalities during endoscopic procedures.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has installed the first made-in-India endoscopy system with advanced imaging features, aimed at strengthening its capabilities to provide specialised gastroenterology care to patients.

The EP-6000 endoscopy system was developed by Fujifilm India and manufactured at the company’s facility in Jodhpur as part of the Centre’s Make in India Initiative.

The system has been donated to the Department of Gastroenterology by Fujifilm India as a goodwill gesture and as part of its commitment to support patients in need.

The EP-6000 is designed to support endoscopic examination and gastrointestinal diagnosis through enhanced imaging capabilities.

The system is intended to assist clinicians in visualising gastrointestinal structures and identifying abnormalities during endoscopic procedures.

According to the institution, the installation seeks to strengthen domestic manufacturing of medical devices and reduce dependence on imports while expanding access to advanced healthcare technologies.

The new initiative seeks to support AIIMS Delhi’s gastroenterology department in delivering complex endoscopic procedures and strengthening specialised patient care at the premier tertiary care medical institution.

Speaking on the initiative, AIIMS Director Dr Nikhil Tandon said, “AIIMS has a longstanding commitment to advancing patient care through the adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies and clinical innovation. The installation of the first Made-in-India endoscope system will add to our capabilities to serve patients at large.”

The installation forms a part of AIIMS Delhi’s efforts to expand its imaging and diagnostic capabilities.

In an earlier development, the healthcare institution unveiled the Hyperfine Swoop System, establishing India’s first routine use of portable MRI for bedside brain imaging and enabling clinicians to capture diagnostic images directly at the point of care for critically ill patients.
