To expand access to minimally invasive care across specialties
Quality Care India Limited (QCIL), one of India’s leading healthcare platforms, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intuitive, a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), to scale robotic-assisted surgery across its multi-brand hospital network comprising CARE Hospitals, KIMSHEALTH and Evercare Hospitals through a phased multi-system installation plan.
The initiative will strengthen clinical capabilities while extending advanced minimally invasive care to patients in tier 2 and tier 3 markets. The expansion of robotic-assisted surgery aligns with QCIL’s broader strategy to strengthen advanced surgical infrastructure in emerging healthcare markets.
This collaboration will help scale its adoption across additional centres, strengthening clinical capacity and access to robotic-assisted surgery for patients across regions. The expanded deployment will support surgeons and care teams in delivering robotic-assisted procedures across specialties, including Thoracic, Transplant, urology, gynaecology, general surgery, and surgical oncology.
As part of the MoU, Intuitive will provide comprehensive technology training, customer service, and support to surgeons and care teams across QCIL’s network hospitals, strengthening programme adoption, procedural consistency, and scalable implementation across centres. The QCIL hospitals to have a faster recovery & precise surgery, thereby improving clinical outcomes.
There are currently over 200 da Vinci systems installed across India, with more than 1,500 surgeons trained in robotic-assisted surgery in specialties such as gynaecology, urology, general surgery, and oncology. Collectively, there have been more than 16.9 million da Vinci procedures performed globally to date, with more than 43,000 peer-reviewed scientific articles referencing da Vinci and related technologies. Intuitive has supported over 35 clinical studies in India, generating local evidence that supports structured and evidence-based program development across institutions.
