Abuja, Nigeria — [November 21st, 2025]
In a landmark advancement for West African healthcare, Robomed™ Global, USA (RoboMed™) and Nisa Medical Group, Abuja, Nigeria announce the installation of Nigeria’s first Toumai® (Hope of Life) Robotic Surgery Platform in Abuja. This milestone ushers in a new era of surgical precision, patient safety, and clinical excellence across multiple disciplines, including urology, gynecology, surgical oncology, bariatrics, and general surgery.
Pioneering Multi-specialty Robotic Surgery in Nigeria
Robomed™ Global is a U.S-based company that mobilizes a multidisciplinary team of board-certified robotic surgeons, perioperative specialists, executives, and industry leaders to advance equitable surgical care worldwide. Our mission is clear: every patient, regardless of circumstance, deserves the dignity and healing that modern surgical innovation makes possible. Its team includes experts in urology, general surgery, gynecology, and allied surgical staff.
In partnership with Nisa Medical Group, Robomed™ aims to build regional surgical capacity by training Nigerian and African surgeons in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques to improve clinical outcomes, strengthen our health systems, and reduce the need for outbound medical travel.
The partnership focuses on:
• Robotic Surgical Procedures: Performing robotic-assisted operations across urology, gynecology, bariatrics, and general surgery, with plans to expand into cardiothoracic and orthopedic surgery.
• Regional Capacity Building: Providing structured training and certification for surgeons, biomedical engineers, and perioperative nurses in collaboration with industry, specifically, manufacturers of various robotic surgical platforms and advanced surgical equipment.
• Systems Integration: Implementing comprehensive operating theater integration for safety, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
• Regulatory Standards: Ensuring quality control and compliance to promote patient safety.
“This collaboration signals real progress for healthcare in Nigeria,” said Dr. Obi Ekwenna, Chief Executive Officer of Robomed™ and tenured Associate Professor of Urology and Transplantation in Ohio, USA. “Introducing robotic surgery in Nigeria strengthens our system, expands local skill, and prepares the next generation of African surgeons to deliver high-quality care in pace with the rest of the world.”
Transforming Surgical Care Through Innovation
This initiative is designed to elevate standard of care, strengthen local expertise, and position Nigeria as a regional hub for robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
Expected benefits include:
• Enhanced patient outcomes through minimally invasive precision, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
• Clinical and economic growth through high-skill job creation, technology transfer, and reduced medical tourism.
• Regional leadership in advanced surgical innovation and training.
“This milestone reinforces our commitment to clinical excellence and patient safety across all surgical subspecialties,” said Dr Iyore James, Chief Medical Officer of Robomed™ and, expert robotic surgeon at Novant Health, Charlotte, USA. “Our mission goes beyond minimally invasive prostate surgery. Our goal is to train Nigerian and African surgeons, nurses, and biomedical engineers to world-class standards so that we can deliver high-quality surgical care in urology, gynecology, surgical oncology, cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery and more.”
What’s Next?
Following the Abuja demonstration, Robomed™ will expand training opportunities through the Robomed™ Academy, a dedicated platform for surgeon education, biomedical engineering upskilling, and perioperative nursing programs.
“Robomed™ is proud to lead the first deployment of the Toumai® Pro robotic surgical platform in Nigeria,” said Efosa Eluma, Chief Operating Officer of Robomed™. “Our focus is empowerment, operational excellence, structural training, and building a sustainable pathway for robotic surgery across West Africa.”
