Based in Southfield, Michigan, the foundation has built a global network of robotic surgery institutes through partnerships with major medical systems in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, and India, with the aim of advancing surgical education and expanding access to cost-effective surgical technology. Its flagship program originated at the Henry Ford Hospital’s Vattikuti Urology Institute, which is credited as the birthplace of robotic surgery, and the foundation continues to focus on developing and disseminating robotic techniques and training skilled surgical personnel to improve patient outcomes. In addition to medical initiatives, the foundation engages in rural livelihood programs in parts of India and supports archival and preservation efforts for Indian art and culture through museums in the United States. Recent activities include participation in major professional events and collaborations, such as partnerships to introduce MR-guided focused ultrasound for neurological conditions in India and efforts to recognize and advance robotic surgery research and practice. The organization targets clinicians, academic medical centers, and regional health systems seeking education, training, and access to innovative, cost-conscious surgical technologies.
