Re: AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Filed May 11, 2017

File No. 333-216054

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In response to the Staff’s letter of June 2, 2017, AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby files Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1.

The following sets forth the Company’s response to the comments set forth in the Staff’s letter. For your convenience, the response to each comment follows the comment itself.

Selling Shareholders, page 20

Comment:

1. We note your response to our prior comment number 11. As an affiliate of yours, it appears that Mr. Cohen may have facilitated a distribution of shares by you without registration to the referenced “third parties” as statutory underwriter. Provide your analysis of how sales to the third parties was not such a distribution, or provide additional disclosure explaining that these sales may not have been conducted in compliance with Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933

Response:

We believe that the transfers and sales of shares by Mr. Cohen did not constitute a distribution, but rather a limited number of transfers and sales pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The transfers and sales, all of which occurred in 2016 and early 2017 prior to filing of the registration statement consisted of:

· The transfer of 1,527,000 shares without consideration for estate planning purposes to 13 family members, which transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as they did not constitute a “sale” of a security pursuant to Section 2(a)(3) thereof.

· The sale of 1,350,000 shares to five non-affiliated parties in privately negotiated transactions pursuant to the so called “Section 4(a)1-1/2” exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, each purchaser having entered into a written agreement with the seller and having provided customary investment representations.
