He was selected for this award by world renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Chitranjan Ranawat from the United States, who operated on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee a few years ago.
For the oration, Dr. Soonawalla spoke on his technique of Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement, for which he has
designed and developed several surgical instruments.
“For years I put off doing the operation because I was very scared. The surgery was so painless and recovery so fast, that I wish I had done it earlier.”
