Dr. Punithan Oli is a general surgeon in India. He met several Albany physicians during one of their visits to India, where they helped build a medical complex. Dr. Oli is trained to do basic Laparoscopic procedures on the gallbladder and appendix, and now he's learning more advanced procedures that he can take back home.
"Here the technology is real advanced, doctors are very highly skilled so I should use the same technology if possible in my country," said Dr. Punithan Oli, the visiting physician.
