This achievement reflects not just surgical volume but also the institution\u2019s accelerating adoption of digital healthcare technologies as part of its academic\u2011integrated model of care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"1267\">According to Dr.\u202fAmir\u202fSharif, the Executive Director at DHA, this milestone \u201crepresents a qualitative leap in the journey of our digital transformation in health care,\u201d anchored in the Authority\u2019s foundational commitment to \u201cdeploy the most advanced medical solutions\u201d to upgrade healthcare services and elevate the human health agenda.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1509\">Under DHA\u2019s broader strategy, all its hospitals and outpatient centres are being enhanced with digital systems to make the patient journey smoother, safer and more seamless. The robotic\u2011surgery programme is a core component of this drive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"2004\">Dr.\u202fYasser\u202fAl\u202fSaidi, Consultant Urologist and Director of the Robotic Surgery Programme (and Associate Professor at Mohammed\u202fBin\u202fRashid\u202fUniversity\u202fof\u202fMedicine\u202fand\u202fHealth\u202fSciences), explains that robot\u2011assisted surgeries mark a \u201cmore advanced phase\u201d in applying intelligent technologies in the operating theatre. As he notes, the system offers three\u2011dimensional high\u2011definition vision and precise robotic arms that operate via a console, enabling delicate interventions with greater accuracy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2044\"><strong>Key clinical benefits cited include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2045\" data-end=\"2525\">\n<li data-start=\"2045\" data-end=\"2132\">\n<p data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2132\">A blood loss reduction of more than 90\u202f% compared to conventional open surgery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2266\">\n<p data-start=\"2135\" data-end=\"2266\">Significantly shortened hospital stays\u2014patients who once stayed up to two weeks are now often discharged in under three days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2369\">\n<p data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2369\">Markedly fewer complications, less post\u2011operative pain and more rapid return to everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2525\">\n<p data-start=\"2372\" data-end=\"2525\">Robust training of the surgical staff in using these smart technologies, ensuring that high safety standards and minimal risk accompany the transition.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2527\" data-end=\"2898\">Procedures covered by the programme include specialties such as urology, general surgery and women\u2019s health, where small\u2011port robotic access through several tiny incisions (rather than large open cuts) is now common. The surgeon sits at a console operating the robotic arms while viewing a magnified 3\u2011D image of the anatomy, allowing sophisticated tissue\u2011sparing work.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"3151\">By embracing robotic surgery, Dubai Hospital and DHA are positioning Dubai as a regional hub for advanced healthcare, aligned with the \u201cPatient\u2011First\u201d ethos and underlining the emirate\u2019s reputation as a destination for cutting\u2011edge medical care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3153\" data-end=\"3420\">As this programme evolves, it will likely broaden into more complex subspecialties, while the digital infrastructure across DHA facilities continues to be enhanced\u2014creating an ecosystem in which patient experience, surgical excellence and digital innovation converge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold step forward for precision medicine, Dubai Health Authority (DHA) reports that its flagship Dubai\u202fHospital has now performed more than 145 robot\u2011assisted surgeries since the launch of its program in the second half of 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[211],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-happening-in-dubai"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13775"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13778,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13775\/revisions\/13778"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
