Over 93% of people across sub-Saharan Africa lack access to safe, affordable surgical care. Robotic surgery has transformed outcomes in the United States and Europe delivering shorter hospital stays, lower complication rates, faster recoveries, and better results on the most complex procedures.
A robotic surgery system alone changes nothing. Lasting impact requires the right technology, trained and credentialed surgeons, government-sanctioned regulatory approval, and a genuine commitment to reaching every patient — not just those who can afford it. RoboMed™ has built all four pillars from the ground up.
We deploy the Toumai MT-1000 — a high-performance, cost-efficient robotic surgical system designed specifically for clinical environments in low- and middle-income countries. It is the only robotic system with full NAFDAC approval in Nigeria, making RoboMed™ the first and only company with a government-sanctioned robotic surgery pathway in West Africa.
What hospitals receive:
- Full site assessment and OR readiness evaluation
- Procurement, importation, and customs clearance
- Installation, calibration, and go-live support
- Ongoing maintenance, spare parts, and technical servicing
- Remote system monitoring and performance analytics
World-class technology fails without world-class surgeons trained to use it. The RoboMed™ Academy is Africa’s first structured, certified robotic surgery training program — built to the same credentialing standards used in the United States, adapted for the realities of LMIC surgical practice.
What we offer:
- Foundational and advanced robotic surgery training
- Subspecialty modules — urology, gynecology, colorectal, thoracic, oncology
- Simulation-based skills labs and proctored live-case training
- CME-accredited programs recognized by Nigerian surgical societies
- Mentorship from U.S.-trained robotic surgeons
- Fellowship and exchange opportunities
- Train-the-trainer programs to build lasting local faculty

For too long, Nigerians and West Africans needing complex surgery faced one choice: travel abroad at enormous cost, or accept whatever was available locally. RoboMed™ Global has changed that equation. World-class robotic surgery is now available here — performed by surgeons trained to international standards, on a NAFDAC-approved platform, in partner hospitals across Nigeria.
For women living with conditions that affect their quality of life, fertility, or long-term health — robotic surgery offers precision, minimal scarring, and recovery times that open surgery cannot match.
Every surgeon performing robotic procedures at a RoboMed™ partner hospital has completed structured credentialing through the RoboMed™ Academy. Use our physician finder to locate a certified robotic surgeon near you.
