Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute Named India's First Robotic Joint Replacement Center of Excellence
Imagine a special hospital in India that's super good at using robots to help people with their knees and hips.
This hospital, called Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute, is now the very first one in all of India to be called a 'Center of Excellence' for this type of robot-assisted surgery.
A company called Stryker gave them this special name because they are leaders in using these robots, have done lots of research, and train other doctors too.
They've already helped over 10,000 people with robotic surgeries.
This is great news because it means more people can get this advanced help, and it's also more affordable than in other big cities.
Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute in Hyderabad has been recognized as India's first 'Centre of Excellence' for robotic joint replacement surgery by Stryker.
The institute, part of KIMS Group of Hospitals, is acknowledged for its leadership in robotic orthopaedic surgery, innovation, and training.
Stryker cited Sunshine's record of over 10,000 robotic joint surgeries and substantial research contributions.
Dr. A.V. Gurava Reddy highlighted the team's excellence in robotic knee and hip replacements.
Robotic surgeries at Sunshine are priced under Rs 4 lakh, making them more accessible compared to major metros.
