The installation of the second Da Vinci robot, known as the all-new Gen 4 X, has further pushed the Urology Hospital in Pretoria to greater heights, as it celebrates being a center of excellence for Africa and the world.

Boasting 3 500 robotic procedures, it has earned the title of Africa’s first institution to achieve this milestone, 20 years after being built and only a few years after moving towards being the continent’s only center of excellence in urology.

The hospital said it acquired a surgical robot in 2013, and the state-of-the-art equipment enables specialists to do things never possible with the old machines.
