The implications of 5G technology on cardiothoracic surgical services in India.

The fifth-generation (5G) technology is finally making its long-anticipated arrival in India, where it has evoked much hope to advance healthcare accessibility and delivery to the masses as well as improving patient safety and efficiency. The 5G technology standard for broadband and cellular networks comes with improved coverage capability; better throughput, speed, bandwidth, and signal strength; and low latency. Such salient-advanced features could be the knight in shining armor for the cardiothoracic surgical community in bridging gaps in perioperative care, outreach, education, research, and much more.
