Landmark Achievement in Africa: First Robotic Surgery Program in Angola! Recently IPCF founder, Vipul Patel, M.D., was integral in the establishment of the first-ever robotic surgery program in Angola - a monumental achievement in advancing healthcare across Africa. This groundbreaking initiative, led by the Advent Health Global Robotics Institute team under the leadership of Dr. Vipul Patel, marks a significant step towards bringing cutting-edge medical technology to those who need it most.

A Collaborative Effort: This milestone was made possible through a strong partnership with the President of Angola and the Health Ministress. Together, we share a vision to expand robotic surgery technology to various regions across the country, ensuring that more patients can benefit from minimally invasive procedures.

Robotic Surgery Technology: Successful procedures used the robotics technology Microport MEDBOT.
