Robot-assisted surgery to be expanded in public hospitals
Following a successful trial at Rajavithi Hospital, the Department of Medical Services announced plans to expand robot-assisted surgery to more public hospitals. Rajavithi Hospital has conducted 664 robot-assisted surgeries since 2020, with overwhelmingly positive patient feedback. The department aims to improve staff proficiency and enhance inter-hospital cooperation. Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital has also introduced robots to revolutionise outpatient services.
