Egypt is moving forward with plans to introduce robotic surgery technology in public hospitals, with a pilot programme set to launch at the Nasser Institute Hospital, Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said during a meeting with representatives of Tecnoviv and Medbot. The discussions form part of the government’s broader strategy to modernise healthcare services and integrate advanced medical technologies into the public system. The first robotic surgical system is expected to become operational at the Nasser Institute as an initial phase, with plans to gradually expand the technology to other major hospitals nationwide. In addition, discussions covered plans to establish a specialised training centre for medical teams at the Princess Fatima Academy for Medical Professional Education. The centre will aim to equip healthcare professionals with the skills required to operate robotic surgical systems in line with international scientific and professional standards.
