Sharjah 24: Emirates Health Services Establishment has collaborated with Al Qassimi Hospital (AQH) in Sharjah to execute 15 successful robotic procedures using the Visiting Doctors Office Program. The hospital has done 446 robotic surgeries since 2017.
As of January, and February, Al Qassimi Hospital specialists performed 961 procedures in various specialties.
Deputy Executive Director of Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah, Dr Saqr Al Mualla affirmed that the accomplishments of the hospital enhance its potential to fulfil strategic goals in compliance with the Emirates Health Services Establishment's directives and policies.
It is also hoped that the Visiting Doctors Office programme will help to establish a facility for training and certifying local doctors to safely operate robotic surgeries. This will allow for the robot's use across all medical specialties, as robots help perform critical operations and handle the most difficult-to-reach parts of the body.
The establishment is spearheading efforts to position the Middle East healthcare industry as a centre of expertise for robotic surgeries.
