Emirates Health Services (EHS) exhibited robotic surgeries during a live broadcast on February 12, 2022, at the start of its Innovative Projects Exhibition at Expo 2020 Dubai.

The live broadcast demonstrating robotic surgery is seen as one of the most noteworthy achievements to be brought to the health-care system.

His Excellency added that the innovative projects offered by EHS and its affiliated entities are part of its preparations for the next stage of transformations in the healthcare sector. They aim to automate services and develop strategies for using artificial intelligence (AI) in order to achieve customer satisfaction and boost the UAE’s competitiveness regionally and globally.

Also on the agenda for the remainder of UAE Innovation Month is a series of panel discussions and youth circles organised by the EHS Youth Council, in addition to virtual and in-person discussion seminars, presented by a group of EHS experts in an effort to increase awareness of various aspects of the healthcare sector.
