Iran supplies Indonesian hospitals with innovative robots for complex surgical operations

Iranian-made robots supplied to Indonesian hospitals for surgeries are popping up all over the country. This is reported by Press TV, a partner of TV BRICS.

Developed by an Iranian robotics company, this innovative system uses a minimally invasive approach. By making tiny 5-millimetre incisions, the robots accurately mimic the movements of a surgeon's hands. This accuracy dramatically reduces patient recovery time and allows for more precise suturing.

The robot converts every centimetre of the surgeon's motion into one millimetre of the patient's movement, which improves the final result and recovery period.

According to the source, Iranian robotic surgery technology has generated a wave of interest. Positive feedback has led to a surge in applications for training courses, with around 100 Indonesian surgeons keen to learn the system. The system complements the training programme of 112 surgeons who have already taken part in training courses since its introduction in Indonesia two years ago.

This expansion is designed to connect the vast Indonesian archipelago, covering a distance of 3,500 kilometres between the western and eastern islands. Interest in the Iranian system goes beyond Indonesia: agencies linked to the Russian government have reportedly also shown interest in the system.
