Fortis Healthcare today said it has joined hands with the International Centre for Robotic Surgery (ICRS) to offer advanced robotic surgery at its facilities.

As per the deal, the two parties have agreed to set up ‘Fortis International Centre for Robotic Surgery (Fortis ICRS)’, which will be set up across the Fortis network, Fortis Healthcare said in a statement.

Fortis ICRS centres will offer the full spectrum of robotic heart, lung, urology, gynaecology, general, head and neck surgeries, it added.

These surgeries will be performed by highly experienced robotic surgeons from the United States and other countries with their support teams, in conjunction with surgical teams at Fortis hospitals, it said.

”This centre further elevates the profile of our medical programmes and we are proud to offer these world-class services in India at a fraction of the cost prevalent overseas,” said Fortis Healthcare Managing Director Shivinder M Singh.
