The Nicosia General Hospital in Cyprus has officially launched robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries, specifically for knee and hip replacements, marking a significant advancement in the country’s public health services. This initiative was made possible through the installation of the CORI Robotic-Assisted Surgery system from Smith+Nephew, which is now operational at the facility.
The State Health Services Organisation (SHSO), known in Greek as Οργανισμός Κρατικών Υπηρεσιών Υγείας (ΟΚΥπΥ), has reported that this development allows patients in Cyprus to access advanced robotic surgical procedures without the need to travel abroad for treatment. The introduction of this technology is seen as a pivotal step towards modernizing surgical techniques within the public health sector.
The move reflects a broader strategy by the hospital to upgrade healthcare services and incorporate state-of-the-art medical technologies, improving the quality and efficacy of orthopedic surgeries available to patients in the region.
