Sindh's Dr Arshad Abro from Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences (LUMHS) has achieved a remarkable feat by performing a remote robotic surgery on a cancer patient in Shanghai China while controlling the procedure from Dubai. This advanced technique known as "telesurgery" involves operating on a patient from a distant location using robotic instruments high speed internet and real time visuals. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that it was executed across three countries with a pakistani doctor operating from the UAE treating a patient in China. Dr. Abro’s contribution marks a significant moment for pakistan’s medical field proving that local talent can lead innovation on the global stage. It also opens the door for future possibilities where critical surgeries may be made available remotely in underserved areas reducing travel and risk for patients.
This isn't just a personal success for Dr. Abro but a proud moment for Sindh, LUMHS, and Pakistan as a whole🇵🇰❤️
