Gulf Medical Company had a great and profound faith when we first introduced robotic surgery to the medical field in Saudi Arabia that such technology will evolve and flourish, if the proper educational and clinical support is provided, and we took this burden on our shoulders throughout the past few years, to make sure that this target will be reached someday, and this year with more than 8 installed robotic systems in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we are proud to witness the enormous technical progress and international exposure that our valuable customers are enjoying through the support of Gulf Medical Company.
