More than 30 specialists from African countries have already begun training at the new facilities

Two specialised centres have commenced operations in Ethiopia, where surgeons will be able to receive training in performing procedures using robotic surgical systems and endoscopic technologies. This was reported by the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation, a TV BRICS partner.

President of Ethiopia Taye Atske-Selassie attended the opening ceremony. He stated that the introduction of advanced medical technologies is a key priority for the country and has a direct impact on improving public health.

Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia Chen Hai emphasised that cooperation between China and African countries in the healthcare sector continues to expand. The parties intend to strengthen collaboration in specialist training and knowledge exchange.

The China–Africa Robotic Surgery Training Centre and the China–Africa Endoscopic Technology Training Centre are expected to improve the quality of medical care and expand patients’ access to advanced healthcare technologies.
