Ashutosh K. Tewari (born in

New York Magazine's Best Doctors, and Who's Who in the World.[8] In 2012, he was given the American Urological Association Gold Cystoscope Award for "outstanding contributions to the field of urologic oncology, most notably the treatment of prostate cancer and the development of novel techniques to improve the outcomes of robotic prostatectomy."[9][10]

Robotic prostatectomy

With the introduction of the

urinary continence and sexual function.[16][17]
Some of Tewari's current research is focused on comparing the benefits of robot-assisted surgery with traditional open prostatic surgery.

On 15 October 2013, Dr. Tewari was named the

Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.[23]

Medical degree

Receiving his

Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) in India under the mentorship of Professor Mahendra Bhandari and completed the McH and DNB program in 1991.[25]

Philanthropy

Covid-19 Relief in India

Dr. Tewari responded to the COVID-19 crisis in India by rallying together with his team at the Department of Urology, his charitable organization Global Prostate Cancer Research Foundation, and the Mount Sinai Health System leadership, to donate over 450 pallets with over $4 million worth of oxygen concentrators, ventilators, BiPap machines and PPE equipment. The life-supporting devices were shipped to Mumbai and distributed to hospitals across India.[34][35]

The initiative, called Project Heal India, was supported by actor Anupam Kher along with Baba Kalyani, the chairman and managing director of Bharat Forge, who assisted in coordinating the distribution of the essential supplies in India.[36]

Mount Sinai Robert F. Smith Mobile Prostate Cancer Screening Unit Program

The Mount Sinai Robert F. Smith Mobile Prostate Cancer Screening Unit Program was launched to support prostate health in Black communities through mobile screening appointments and follow-up visits with urologists at Mount Sinai Hospital. The project, funded through a grant by philanthropist Robert F. Smith, is in response to the higher incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Black men. Expected to launch in 2021, the program, headed by Dr. Tewari, will partner with local communities and raise prostate cancer awareness.[37][38]

Awards and honors

Dr. Tewari was honored for his contributions during the pandemic in Crain's Notable in Health Care 2021.[39] He also received the prestigious Gold Cystoscope Award in 2012 for his contributions to the field of urologic oncology.[40]
