Dubai Hospital has marked a significant achievement in healthcare innovation, having successfully performed over 145 robotic surgeries since the launch of its robotic surgery programme in late 2022. This milestone underscores the hospital’s commitment to integrating advanced medical technologies to enhance patient care and outcomes. Dr. Amer Sharif, CEO of Dubai Health, emphasized that this progress aligns with the organization’s vision to ‘Advance Health for Humanity’ and reflects its ongoing digital transformation efforts. The robotic surgeries have demonstrated remarkable clinical results, including a reduction in hospital stays from two weeks to less than three days, and a significant decrease in blood loss, complications, and pain. Dr. Yaser AlSaeedi, Head of Urology and Director of the Robotic Surgery programme, highlighted the precision and safety benefits of these procedures, which span multiple specialties such as urology, general surgery, and gynaecology. The minimally invasive approach, utilizing 3D visualization and robotic arms, allows surgeons to perform complex operations with greater accuracy and control. Dubai Health also prioritizes training medical staff in robotic surgical systems, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice to ensure safe and effective implementation. This initiative solidifies Dubai’s position as a leader in quality healthcare and sets a benchmark for the future of medical innovation.
