About the book
Maharshi Sushruta’s Samhita is recognised as the earliest comprehensive treatise on the science of surgery, written before 600 BCE.

Presented by the Cheruvu Family Foundation, it brings together 36 contributors from Ayurveda and modern medicine, along with experts in Sanskrit and history, writing on his life, teachings and legacy.
