Pune’s AFMC is set to launch a high-fidelity human patient simulator to train in interventional procedures for adult and paediatric critical care, laparoscopic surgery, and obstetrics and gynaecology.

The simulator is designed to mimic human physiological responses, providing a realistic and immersive learning environment for medical students and professionals.

Moreover, this medical training allows for hands-on experience in a controlled setting, reducing the risk to patients and improving the quality of care.

This move aligns with AFMC’s goal to leverage advanced technology in medical education to enhance the practical skills of students and professionals, preparing them to handle complex medical scenarios with precision.

In addition to the launch of the high-fidelity human patient simulator, AFMC is also set to expand its medical services and research capabilities. The institution plans to establish a dedicated emergency medicine department to enhance patient care and outcomes.

Moreover, AFMC is intensifying its focus on cancer and genetic disorders. This strategic move is aimed at addressing the growing need for specialised care and advanced research in these areas. By concentrating on these critical health issues, AFMC aims to contribute significantly to the understanding and treatment of cancer and genetic disorders.

Founded in 1948, the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) is a leading medical training institute in Pune. By integrating advanced technology and focusing on key health areas, AFMC is poised to make significant strides in medical education and patient care. The aim of AFMC is to develop, deliver, support, and sustain war-winning capabilities to ensure our Nation’s competitive advantage.

In a similar development, the Army Base Hospital at Delhi Cantt had established a Comprehensive Vestibular Lab. The lab offers a range of diagnostic features including the Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) test which is used to diagnose vestibular toxicity and peripheral vestibulopathy, usually caused by ototoxic drugs.

Additionally, it offers computerised stabilometry (posturography) which helps in the functional evaluation of the postural control system in its steady-state behaviour. It further measures the outcome of vestibular rehabilitation by assessing the patient’s balance control on the postural sway velocity.
