Robotic forum to reveal latest advancements in robotic surgery
The US Society of Robotic Surgery and Crescent Healthcare will host the inaugural Global Robotic MedTech Forum in the Middle East on March 16, 2023.
Taking place in Dubai, the event will focus on the latest advances in robotic surgery, a rapidly growing field revolutionizing healthcare.
While the region’s healthcare sector has prioritized robotic surgery, this is the first dedicated global forum bringing together world-renowned experts from the region to discuss the technology alongside physicians and policymakers.
The forum will bring together ministers, senior government officials, as well as professionals from the fields of healthcare, R&D and investment to discuss the future of robotic-assisted surgery and the UAE’s leading position at the forefront of healthcare.
Abdul Rahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention, said: “As we address the challenges of modern healthcare, the UAE is proud to host the Global Robotic MedTech Forum, which brings together renowned experts from around the world brings together to share their knowledge and the latest advances in the field of robotic surgery. Through the use of technology and innovation, we can continue to improve patient outcomes and provide more efficient and effective healthcare solutions for everyone.”
dr Vipul Patel, President of the Society of Robotic Surgery, stated, “The forum will provide a unique platform to share knowledge and ideas and explore innovative solutions that can help improve patient outcomes and drive growth in the healthcare industry.”
Hamid Jafar, Chair of the Crescent Group of Companies, which is hosting the event, commented, “The Global Robotic MedTech Forum is an essential platform that brings together industry leaders and innovators to share knowledge and ideas and drive meaningful advances in healthcare.
