EINPresswire/ -- Eminent neurosurgeon Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla has been honoured with the “Best Minimally Invasive Neurosurgeon, Spine Surgeon and Stereotactic Neurosurgeon” award at the Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Inspiration Awards 2025, organised by Topnotch Foundation at Hotel The LaLiT, New Delhi.

The award was presented in the presence of Brij Bhushan and noted Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda, who attended the event as chief guests. The award citation recognised Dr. Patibandla’s work in advancing minimally invasive brain and spine surgery and stereotactic neurosurgical procedures in India.

Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla is the founder and lead neurosurgeon at Dr. Rao’s Hospital, Guntur — one of India’s first independent, state-of-the-art centres dedicated to brain, spine and nerve care. With advanced training in the United States and India, he has introduced several cutting-edge neurosurgical techniques, particularly in skull base surgery, spine surgery, functional neurosurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery.

“This honour is a reminder of the responsibility we carry in advancing medical science and patient care,” Dr. Patibandla said during the ceremony. “It is a privilege to receive an award that bears the name of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, whose legacy continues to inspire innovation and service.”

The Abdul Kalam Inspiration Awards are presented annually to individuals from diverse sectors including healthcare, education, science, entrepreneurship, and social service. Recipients are selected based on measurable impact, contribution to their field, and service to society.

Dr. Rao’s Hospital has emerged as a regional and international referral centre for complex brain and spine surgeries, including tumour resections, endoscopic procedures, and image-guided stereotactic interventions. The hospital also focuses on making advanced neurosurgical care accessible to both domestic and international patients.

The event brought together government representatives, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders, reflecting the late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s legacy of innovation and service to the nation.
