Telesurgery: Reality is catching up to my science fiction

News Release: Half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services. In low- and middle-income countries, 9 in 10 people are unable to access even basic surgical care.

That’s why the Society for Robotic Surgery is proud to partner with the World Health Organization to explore how digital solutions like telesurgery and virtual care can bridge this gap. With affordable technology and a focus on public sector demand, we’re aiming to empower healthcare providers and create a more equitable global health future.

Watch the video to learn how we’re working to make quality surgical care accessible.
