After the successful completion of MantraM ‘Made in India’ Surgical Robot Yatra across the state of Rajasthan, India’s first Mobile Tele-Robotic Surgery Unit enters its 3^rd leg of ground-breaking national journey, in the Heart of India,  Madhya Pradesh, with an inspiring showcase at Her Hospital, Bhopal. Doctors, medical students, healthcare professionals, and the general public gathered to witness the unit in action, showcasing how advanced robotic surgeries can now be guided remotely.

The first day of yatra witnessed Bhopal’s First Telesurgery performed from within MantraM. The procedure was performed by Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar (Reproductive Medicine, IVF), Founder & Managing Director of HER Health Hospital, Bhopal. The event served as a compelling demonstration of the growing feasibility of real-time, surgical collaboration. The success of the surgery highlights the viability of robotic procedures as a real-world solution to longstanding healthcare access challenges. By eliminating the need for travel and enabling remote expertise to be applied in real time, robotic telesurgery is redefining the boundaries of healthcare delivery, especially for patients in remote or underserved regions.

Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Vishwa Pascual Srivastava, MD and Chief Executive Officer – APAC of SS Innovations International, said, “This historic moment showcases what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. It brings us closer to redefining and democratizing access to advanced surgical care, particularly in regions with limited specialist availability. The MantraM Yatra is not just about technology, it is a mission to democratize access to world-class surgical care. This represents our effort to bring robotic surgery directly to the grassroots of India, ensuring that doctors and patients everywhere can benefit from this breakthrough ‘Made in India’ innovation.”

Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar (Reproductive Medicine, IVF), Founder & Managing Director of HER Health Hospital, Bhopal said, “Performing a complex telesurgery remotely, and for the first time from within a bus, marks a transformative moment in surgical science. It’s not just about technological capability; it’s about bridging gaps in access to quality healthcare. The success of the SSI Mantra system proves that the future of safe, precise, and inclusive surgery is here, and it’s being shaped in India.”

The event drew enthusiastic participation from doctors, medical faculty, students, and the local public, all eager to witness India’s MedTech innovation. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the capabilities of the ‘Made in India’ surgical robot through live, hands-on demos inside the mobile unit. Serving as an experiential training platform, MantraM offers immersive demonstrations of the SSI Mantra surgical robot’s capabilities and helps practitioners understand its transformative potential.

Following its impactful start, the MantraM “Made in India” Surgical Robot Yatra will continue its Madhya Pradesh circuit with a packed itinerary.
