With the divine blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, two state-of-the-art Gastroenterology Endoscopy Systems were commissioned at SSSIHMS – Prasanthigram on this auspicious Friday.
Valued at ₹2.45 crores, the advanced systems were inaugurated by the Managing Trustee of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Mr RJ Rathnakar, in the presence of Dr Gurumurthy (Director, SSSIHMS–PG), Dr Anil Kumar Mulpur (Joint Director), Dr Geeta Kamath, Dr Jay Kamath, Dr Veda Vishwanathan, and other functionaries.
Endoscopy in gastroenterology is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a flexible, camera-equipped tube (endoscope) to visually examine the digestive tract. It enables physicians to detect and treat conditions of the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines—including inflammation, ulcers, and polyps—and also facilitates biopsies and polyp removal when necessary.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Rathnakar noted that these two endoscopy machines mark a major upgrade to the existing systems. “In recent years, we have commissioned numerous state-of-the-art medical equipment to elevate the standards of patient care. These new endoscopy systems stand as yet another testament to that commitment. Bhagawan Baba’s healthcare mission continues to progress from strength to strength,” he said.
The newly commissioned Olympus systems bring a significant technological leap to patient care. Equipped with powerful processors, high-resolution endoscopes, and unmatched visualisation capabilities, the systems deliver exceptional clarity and diagnostic precision. The latest Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology enhances accuracy through superior contrast and illumination, enabling gastroenterologists to make more informed clinical decisions.
The endoscopes incorporate Responsive Insertion Technologies (RIT), greatly improving manoeuvrability and ease of insertion. Additionally, the systems include paediatric upper-GI probes, ensuring enhanced diagnostic outcomes for children and for adults with medically narrowed oesophagi.
