Nagaland Governor La Ganesan flagged off the Chief Minister’s Mobile Operation Theatre (CMMOT) at Civil Secretariat here on Sunday during the 76th Republic Day celebrations, in the presence of chief minister Neiphiu Rio and host of senior officials.
The Chief Minister’s Mobile Operation Theatre aims to deliver advanced surgical and healthcare services to rural and remote areas of Nagaland. Equipped with state-of-the-art keyhole surgery capabilities, this initiative aims to enhance access to specialised medical care, promote health equity, and reduce healthcare disparities in underserved regions.
The facility features a fully equipped mobile surgical unit, portable diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, x-ray, endoscopy, and blood testing equipment, along with instruments for minimally invasive surgeries.
A dedicated medical team from Kohimas Hospital led by its managing director Dr Keneilhoulie Medom along with support from doctors both in the government and private healthcare institutions will ensure the delivery of high-quality healthcare services directly to the doorstep of those in need.
The mobile operation theatre will not only provides life-saving interventions, but will also serve as a model for innovative healthcare delivery, effectively bridging the gap between urban medical facilities and the healthcare needs of the remote population.
