Al-Jahra Hospital has received accreditation from the American Surgical Review Organization as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, while Dr. Mohammed Al-Jasmi, head of the hospital’s surgery department, was awarded the designation of Distinguished Robotic Surgeon for the period from October 2026 to 2029. The Ministry of Health stated in a statement on Saturday that the American Surgical Review Organization is a non-profit U.S. entity focused on patient safety and care quality, granting excellence accreditations to hospitals and surgeons worldwide. Dr. Al-Jasmi said in the statement that the robotic surgery program launched its first procedures on April 27, 2025, with a total of approximately 200 operations performed to date, covering general surgery, urology, and several specialized surgical fields. He noted that the program enables robotic surgeries across multiple specialties within a system that integrates medical teams, equipment, and the clinical pathways necessary for patient care. The ministry added that in October 2025, three remote robotic surgeries were performed on female patients with uterine cancer, through a collaboration between the gynecologic oncology unit at Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital and the obstetrics and gynecology department at Al-Jahra Hospital, thereby linking specialized expertise between the two hospitals and leveraging the capabilities of remote robotic surgery. It further noted that this accreditation reflects the advancement of the robotic surgery program at Al-Jahra Hospital, alongside the opportunities for exchanging specialized expertise and expanding the use of advanced surgical technologies through cooperation among the ministry’s hospitals.
