Accessing a top-tier surgeon from a metro city no longer requires the stress, cost, and physical toll of long-distance travel. In a move that brings specialized healthcare to your doorstep, Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital (HNRFH) has launched India’s first Tele-Robotic Surgery Program.

For patients in Jamnagar and eventually other non-metro regions, this means you can now receive high-precision, robotic-assisted surgeries performed by world-class experts from Mumbai, without ever leaving your local healthcare center.

How You Benefit: Advanced Care, Closer to Home

The program is designed to solve the biggest hurdles patients face when seeking specialized treatment. Here is how this facility changes the healthcare experience for you:

• No More Medical Travel: You no longer need to navigate the logistics of traveling to Mumbai for complex procedures. The surgery comes to you, saving you and your family significant travel and accommodation costs.
• Access to Top Surgeons: You gain direct access to the expertise of senior directors and multidisciplinary teams from HNRFH Mumbai, who remotely guide or perform surgeries using high-speed digital connectivity.
• Faster Recovery with Robotics: Because the program uses cutting-edge robotic systems, you benefit from “high-precision” care. Robotic surgery typically means smaller incisions, less pain, and a much faster return to your daily life.
• Timely Intervention: By removing geographical barriers, you can get the surgery you need when you need it, rather than waiting for travel arrangements or hospital availability in distant cities.

Proven Success in Jamnagar

The facility is already operational, with the first successful tele-robotic surgery recently completed at the Community Medical Centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Led by a specialist in Urology-Oncology from Mumbai, the procedure was made possible by Reliance Jio’s ultra-low-latency network, ensuring the surgeon’s movements were transmitted in real-time with total accuracy.

Dr. Tarang Gianchandani, CEO of Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, highlighted the patient-first nature of this launch:

“Advanced healthcare must not be limited by geography… By enabling our surgeons in Mumbai to remotely perform procedures for patients across the country, we are taking world-class expertise to where it is needed most. This initiative reflects our belief that technology… must ultimately serve people – delivering excellence in care closer to home.”

Anish Shah, COO of Jio Platforms, emphasized the reliability of the system:

“By providing the secure, ultra-low-latency connectivity required for remote robotic surgeries, we are helping redefine what equitable access to advanced healthcare can look like across the country.”

A Proudly Indian Innovation

Beyond the medical convenience, this program is a milestone for Atmanirbhar Bharat, utilizing an indigenously developed Indian robotic system. It ensures that world-class medical infrastructure is no longer a luxury reserved for those in Tier-1 cities, but a standard available to every citizen.
