First Succesful Robotic Surgery in Egypt. 

The President of Ain Shams University said that the university was keen to introduce robotic surgery technology in its university hospitals, because the introduction of this mechanism in the health system in Egypt enhances accuracy, flexibility and control during surgical operations.

Ali Al-Anwar, Executive Director of University Hospitals.

Walid Anwar, Director of Ain Shams Specialized Hospital.
