“Uniform Insurance Coverage is Crucial for Robotic-Assisted Surgeries”
– Dr Vivek Bindal , Chairman, Clinical Robotic Surgery Association (India Chapter)

Despite IRDAI’s 2024 directive mandating insurance coverage for Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS), many patients still face challenges due to inconsistent ex*****on across insurance providers.

Dr. Vivek Bindal said:

“The IRDAI mandate acknowledged the clinical value of robotic surgery. But we now need consistent coverage in policy and ex*****on.”

✅ Why it matters:
Robotic surgery offers:

🔹 Lower complication rates

🔹 Faster recovery

🔹 Reduced recurrence

🔹 Better long-term outcomes

India’s healthcare leaders are urging insurers to uniformly implement robotic surgery coverage—so that precision care becomes affordable and accessible to all.

Obesity Isn’t Cosmetic – It’s a Disease That Affects Every Organ
With Dr Vivek Bindal
Senior Director & Head – Robotic, Bariatric & Minimal Access Surgery
Max Hospitals: Vaishali | Patparganj | Noida

It’s not just about the weighing scale.
Obesity silently impacts your entire body system.

🔹 Heart – Higher risk of heart attacks and hypertension
🔹 Pancreas – Triggers insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
🔹 Joints – Leads to early wear and tear, chronic knee and back pain
🔹 Liver – Fatty liver disease and cirrhosis
🔹 Lungs – Sleep apnea and reduced breathing capacity

Obesity is a disease—and it needs structured, scientific, and sustainable care.
Robotic Bariatric Surgery is not about looks—it's about saving lives and restoring health.

Know your options. Don’t wait for complications to begin.

Expanding Access to Robotic Surgery in India
Dr Vivek Bindal at FICCI House, New Delhi

I was glad to represent India as the only soft tissue robotic surgeon in a high-level Round Table Meeting at FICCI House, alongside leaders from:
🏥 Insurance Companies
🤖 Robotic Technology Firms
🏛️ Government Healthcare Representatives

Purpose of the Meeting:
To discuss reimbursement frameworks and policy support for Robotic Surgery in India.

I shared key points on:
✅ Clinical benefits of robotic surgery
✅ Patient outcomes and recovery
✅ Cost-effectiveness in long term
✅ Urgent need for broader insurance and CGHS coverage

The suggestions were well-received by the insurance leadership, and I’m hopeful that this marks a significant step towards making robotic surgery more accessible and affordable for every patient in India.

The future of precision healthcare is near—and inclusive.

Featured on Zee Business | Let’s Talk

I was recently invited as a panel guest on Zee Business for their program “Aapki Khabar Aapka Fayda” to share my views on a critical health topic – Obesity: Injection, Diet, or Lifestyle – What Works Best?

During the discussion, I highlighted how:
🔸 25.4% of India’s population is living with generalized obesity
🔸 Obesity is not just a weight issue — it’s a root cause of multiple chronic diseases
🔸 Whether it’s Wegovy (injection), surgery, or lifestyle changes — every option must be personalized to the patient’s condition and goals

As a bariatric and robotic surgeon, I believe education is key. The solution isn’t just one-size-fits-all. It’s about building a holistic and sustainable approach to health.

Watch the full video to understand how medical science, technology, and discipline can come together to fight the obesity epidemic.
