SURGICAL ROBOTS ATTRACT NEW PATIENTS/CUSTOMERS INTO YOUR COUNTRY/HOSPITAL

GRASP supports hospitals to establish or improve their medical tourism revenue from robotic surgery.

The GRASP team can help your hospital executives;

  • With business planning of which surgical robot(s) should be purchased for the medical tourism offering.
  • With business planning on whether to buy a new robot or a pre-owned robot, If you decide on a pre-owned robot, GRASP can acquire one for you.
  • With financial planning of the robotic surgery medical tourism offering.
  • To design the robotic surgery offering to the public, such as which specialities will you offer? General, Gyne, Thoracic, Neuro, Spinal and how to market the services.
  • To recruit Robotic surgeons or to train your existing surgeons to convert from laparoscopic to robotic surgery.
  • To support surgeons and hospitals in passing the required RAS certification to be allowed to use a robot.
  • To provide the hospital with ‘robotic surgery explained videos’ for patients, which will educate patients and attract more customers to request robotic surgery at their hospital.

The benefits of surgical robots in attracting medical tourists and increasing your hospital and local tourism revenue. 

  • Increased spending. Patients/customers spend their money in the local economy before and after surgery.  After the hospital fee,  the hotels and restaurants are often the largest expenditure.
  • Less Scarring: Smaller incisions result in minimal scarring, improving aesthetic outcomes.
  • Reduced Pain and Discomfort. Robotic systems enhance precision, minimizing tissue trauma during surgery. Patients often report less postoperative pain, reducing the need for pain medication.
  • Faster Recovery.  Many patients can return home sooner due to reduced complications and quicker healing. They often stop in hotels near the hospital after surgery.
  • Quicker Return to Normal Activities: Patients often resume work and daily life faster compared to traditional surgery.
  • Lower Risk of Complications. The precision of robotic surgery minimizes the risk of Infection, Excessive bleeding and Damage to surrounding tissues.
  • Fewer Long-Term Complications. Robotic surgery often results in better functional outcomes (e.g., bladder control and sexual function after prostate surgery), which patients find appealing.
