Farah Khan Unveils Advanced CORI Robotic System, Enhancing Orthopaedic Care at CritiCare Asia Hospitals

Mumbai, 18 February 2026: Marking a significant milestone in its 25-year journey, CritiCare Asia Hospitals has expanded its orthopaedic robotic surgery capabilities by introducing the state-of-the-art CORI system from Smith+Nephew. This addition represents the hospital group’s third robotic-assisted platform dedicated to joint replacement procedures.

Operating four major facilities in Andheri, Juhu, Malad, and Kurla, with a combined bed capacity exceeding 650, CritiCare Asia aims to elevate surgical accuracy and enhance patient recovery experiences, particularly for those undergoing hip and knee replacements.

The CORI system was officially launched on 15 February by renowned filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan, who emphasized the transformative potential of cutting-edge medical technology in alleviating patient discomfort and accelerating rehabilitation timelines.

Hospital representatives highlighted that the CORI platform empowers surgeons with real-time, interactive surgical planning and meticulous bone sculpting capabilities. This precision facilitates optimal implant positioning, which clinical studies suggest can lead to superior joint functionality and reduced convalescence periods.

Under the visionary guidance of founders Dr. Deepak Namjoshi and Dr. Masuuma Namjoshi, CritiCare Asia Hospitals continues to prioritize technology-driven healthcare solutions. The integration of CORI complements the existing Cuvis and Velys robotic systems, offering surgeons a versatile toolkit tailored to diverse patient needs.

Dr. Deepak Namjoshi remarked, “Our commitment is to blend surgical mastery with innovative technology to maximize patient safety and outcomes. Persistent investment in advanced tools remains a cornerstone of our healthcare philosophy.”

Expanding beyond robotic-assisted knee surgeries, the hospital’s orthopaedic program now encompasses hip replacement procedures, reflecting a comprehensive strategy to restore mobility and promote enduring joint health.

Dr. Masuuma Namjoshi noted the profound impact chronic joint ailments have on patients and their families, underscoring the hospital’s mission to democratize access to sophisticated treatment options within the metropolitan area.

Medical experts involved in the rollout described the CORI system’s introduction as a pivotal advancement in precision orthopaedics. Previous robotic platforms have demonstrated promising outcomes in knee replacements, and the expanded robotic suite is anticipated to benefit a broader spectrum of patients.

With this latest enhancement, CritiCare Asia Hospitals is poised to further embed robotic-assisted techniques into standard orthopaedic care, aligning with global trends favoring minimally invasive, data-driven surgical interventions in urban healthcare environments.
