Robotic surgeries now happening in many private hospitals in Nigeria- Muhammad Ali Pate, Minister Of Health & Social Welfare

Nigeria’s healthcare sector just got a major boost! Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Ali Pate, has announced that robotic surgeries are now being performed in several private hospitals across the country.

This marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s medical landscape, positioning the country as a hub for advanced surgical care in West Africa.

The Toumai Pro Robotic Surgery Platform, recently launched at Nisa Premier Hospital in Abuja, is a game-changer. This state-of-the-art technology enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision, reducing recovery time and complications.

Some benefits of robotic surgery include:

Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery

Increased precision: Enhanced dexterity and accuracy

Reduced complications: Lower risk of infection and bleeding

Hospitals like Nisa Premier Hospital, Kelina Hospital, and Lagoon Hospital are already offering robotic surgery services. This development is expected to attract medical tourism, boost Nigeria’s healthcare sector, and improve patient outcomes.

As Minister Pate puts it, “This is not just a milestone for Nigeria, but for the entire African continent”.
