Bahrain Introduces VELYS Robotic Device for Knee Replacement Surgeries

Bahrain has made a big leap in medical technology by launching the VELYS robotic device. It is the first of its kind in the Middle East, marking a major milestone for healthcare in the region.

The Royal Medical Services – Military Hospital is leading the way with this new technology. Brigadier General Dr. Shaikh Fahad bin Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Commander of the Royal Medical Services, highlighted the need to keep up with healthcare advancements.
