Dubai Health Authority introduces "robotic microsurgery" technology in 5 specialized hospitals

The Dubai Health Authority announced on Saturday, November 14, 2026, that it was expanding the use of "ultra-precise robotic surgery" technologies to five specialist government and private hospitals across the emirate. The systems will be used for complex procedures in cardiac surgery, oncology and urology.

Shorter recovery times and less invasive procedures
The modern robotic systems allow surgeons to control highly precise instruments through extremely small incisions, supported by high-definition three-dimensional imaging. This can reduce blood loss and the risk of infection, while cutting patients' hospital stays by up to 50 per cent.

Training medical teams to global standards
The introduction of the technologies will be accompanied by an intensive training programme for doctors and surgeons, delivered in collaboration with leading international medical centres. The programme aims to ensure the highest levels of operational competence and clinical safety in line with international healthcare standards.

Strengthening Dubai's position as a leading medical tourism destination
The move reflects Dubai's commitment to adopting the latest smart medical innovations and enhancing the competitiveness of its healthcare sector to attract patients from around the world seeking advanced care and highly precise treatment outcomes.
