Kuwait's Ministry of Health has announced a world-first medical achievement with the successful completion of remote robotic surgeries in the field of gynecological oncology. This pioneering procedure was conducted as part of a national collaboration between Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital and Al-Jahra Hospital. Significantly, it marks the first series of robotic surgeries performed entirely by a Kuwaiti medical team using the country's own infrastructure.

The complex surgeries, which were performed on Kuwaiti patients with uterine cancer, were led by the Gynecological Oncology Unit at Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital. Utilizing remote robotic surgical technology, the team successfully carried out three delicate operations, representing a major qualitative leap in modern surgical practices within the country. This success is seen as an advanced model of national integration in the field of smart medicine.

This milestone is a key step in Kuwait's broader vision to localize advanced medical technology and develop its healthcare system for the future. The achievement is expected to open new horizons for training a generation of surgeons in robotic techniques and enhancing cooperation across medical specialties, firmly placing Kuwait on the global map of digital medicine and smart surgery.
