Aster DM Healthcare, one of India’s largest healthcare providers, is rapidly advancing the future of surgical care in India, driven by the widespread adoption of robotic-assisted surgery across its network of hospitals.

Surgeons at Aster DM Healthcare utilise next-generation robotic systems to deliver safer, faster and more precise surgical outcomes

Within Aster’s India network—including Aster Medcity, Aster Whitefield, Aster RV, Aster CMI and others—robotic-assisted surgery is used across urology, oncology, gynaecology and orthopaedics, while expanding into liver and kidney transplants and neurosurgery. With 1,900 robotic surgeries last year and 1,300 already this fiscal, growth is strong. Supported by Da Vinci and SSI Mantra platforms, Aster ensures equitable, high-quality, precision-led care across metro and non-metro locations in India today and beyond.

Prof. Dr. Somashekar, Chairman – Medical Advisory Board, Aster DM Healthcare (GCC & India) and Global Director – Aster International Institute of Oncology, said, “Robotic-assisted surgery represents one of the most meaningful advancements in modern healthcare, not just for its precision but for the dignity and comfort it restores to patients. At Aster, we have paired cutting-edge robotic platforms with strong clinical training to ensure these technologies truly elevate patient outcomes. The future of surgery lies in this balance — where innovation enhances the surgeon’s capability while compassionate care remains at the heart of every decision.”

A recent milestone underscoring this commitment was Kerala’s first robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery, performed at Aster Medcity. The procedure, paired with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, resulted in smaller incisions, faster recovery, minimal scarring, and a reduced risk of post-operative complications—demonstrating the transformative impact of robotics in high-end cardiac care.

As Aster continues to integrate robotics responsibly and compassionately across its hospitals, the organisation is shaping a new era of surgical excellence—one where cutting-edge innovation meets empathetic, patient-centric care.

Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO), a Miniratna PSU under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, marked a historic milestone today, celebrating its 53rd Foundation Day with a brand overhaul and the launch of high-tech mobility solutions.

Hon’ble Union Minister Dr Virender Kumar, Hon’ble Minister of State Shri B L Verma, Additional Secretary (DEPwD) Smt Manmeet Kaur Nanda and ALIMCO CMD Shri Praveen Kumar 

Union Minister for Social Justice & Empowerment, Dr. Virendra Kumar as the Chief Guest witnessed the unveiling of ALIMCO’s new corporate identity designed by NID Ahmedabad, alongside two cutting-edge products: a 3-Wheeler EV Scooter and a Clip-On Motorised Wheelchair Device.

New Era of Tech-Driven Inclusion The newly launched 3-Wheeler EV Scooter offers a safe, eco-friendly, and rugged mobility solution designed specifically for the Indian terrain, while the Clip-On Motorised Device is a game-changer that converts a standard manual wheelchair into a motorised vehicle within seconds, offering affordable independence to users.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Virendra Kumar reflected on ALIMCO’s transformative journey, stating that in its 53 years of service, the organisation has grown from a manufacturing unit into a national institution that symbolises innovation with empathy. He noted that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, more than 32 lakh Divyang beneficiaries have been supported through various government initiatives, and ALIMCO continues to play a pivotal role in ensuring that high-quality assistive devices reach every deserving individual across the country.

Shri B. L. Verma, Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, described the occasion as more than a milestone, calling it a celebration of compassion and collective purpose. He observed that the newly launched devices are not merely products of engineering but powerful enablers of independence, dignity and mobility, reflecting India’s growing leadership in inclusive and accessible technology.

At the heart of the occasion was the deeply moving address delivered by Smt Manmeet Kaur Nanda, Additional Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, who highlighted that ALIMCO must be viewed not just as a production organisation, but as a living institution that carries forward India’s vision of self-reliance, inclusion and social justice.

• Robot-assisted surgery will be offered across oncology, gastrointestinal, urology, thoracic, gynaecology and complex general surgery specialties

• The hospital will use the advanced SSi Mantra system, featuring modular robotic arms and high-definition 3D imaging for enhanced surgical precision

Billroth Hospitals, one of the city’s leading multispeciality centres and a pioneer in advanced laparoscopic and laser procedures, has launched its Institute of Robotic Surgery, marking a major expansion of its minimally invasive surgical capabilities. The facility will use the SSi Mantra 3, an India-made next-generation surgical robot designed by SS Innovations, to perform a wide range of procedures with greater precision and improved patient outcomes.

Billroth Hospitals Launches Institute of Robotic Surgery to Deliver High-Precision, Cost-Effective Care

The robotic platform will be deployed across oncology, gastrointestinal surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, gynaecology and complex general surgery. The SSi Mantra 3 will also support intricate operations involving the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, biliary system, intestines, rectum, anal canal and urological organs such as the kidney, ureter, bladder and prostate. It will further aid minimally invasive interventions for reproductive tract conditions, retroperitoneal tumours and tumours of the chest.

The hospital said that the system will enhance its capabilities in performing complex hernia repairs, bile duct exploration, diaphragmatic repair, hiatus hernia fundoplication, metabolic and bariatric surgery, hysterectomy and tubal reimplantation. High-end procedures such as liver transplantation and cardiac bypass are also expected to benefit from the dexterity and stability offered by the robotic arms.

The SSi Mantra 3 features 3 to 5 fully modular robotic arms and supports more than 40 robotic endo-surgical instruments, enabling surgeons to tailor the setup to each operation. Its open-face console includes a 32-inch 3D 4K display, ergonomic controls and head-tracking safety, offering enhanced visual clarity and steadier control during long or complex surgeries.

In his comments, Dr. Rajesh Jeganathan, Chairman, Billroth Hospitals said, “We are pleased to launch a centre of excellence for robot-assisted surgery. Our goal is to democratise minimally invasive care by making it accessible and affordable for our patients. Those who require laparoscopic procedures should consider robotic surgery, as both follow the same minimally invasive principles. With a robot-assisted approach, even complex operations can be performed more safely, with faster recovery and shorter hospital stays – ultimately reducing overall treatment costs. This is especially beneficial for cancer patients who need intricate resections or long surgical hours. The minimally invasive technique also enables patients to get out of bed the very next day, significantly supporting quicker recovery.”

He further added that robotic technology significantly enhances surgical precision. Unlike conventional open surgery, robotic systems provide a highly magnified, 10x enlarged 4K 3D view that offers exceptional clarity while preserving the depth perception of open procedures. The stable robotic platform minimises unintended hand movements, enabling greater accuracy and reducing blood loss. With a range of motion that exceeds natural human limits, the robotic arms can bend and rotate to access difficult-to-reach areas with ease. Importantly, surgeons operate from an ergonomically designed console, which reduces fatigue and allows for steadier control during long or complex surgeries.
