King Faisal Hospital Rwanda has unveiled the ZEISS KINEVO 900S, the most advanced robotic surgical microscope in East Africa, now fully operational and already transforming the way complex surgeries are performed in the region.
This cutting-edge technology marks a significant advancement in Rwanda’s growing reputation as a leader in high-end medical services.
The ZEISS KINEVO 900S is engineered for extreme precision in brain and spine surgeries, combining robotics with fluorescence imaging to deliver safer, faster, and more effective procedures.
Among its revolutionary features is the built-in QEVO endoscope, which allows surgeons to visualize hard-to-reach areas—making complete tumor removal more achievable than ever before.
The system also includes voice and foot controls to enhance surgical speed and efficiency, freeing the surgeon’s hands to focus entirely on the operation.
Beyond improving patient care, the new microscope also elevates surgical training.
It supports live 3D surgical teaching, enabling real-time instruction for medical trainees both onsite and remotely—an asset that is expected to have far-reaching benefits for the country’s medical education and research sectors.
Hospital officials say the ZEISS KINEVO 900S is also a key driver of medical tourism, positioning King Faisal Hospital as a destination for robotic-assisted surgery in the region.
Its capabilities are already drawing interest from neighboring countries, with patients and professionals alike recognizing Rwanda as a growing center for advanced healthcare.
“This is more than just new equipment—it’s a game-changer for how we deliver care, how we train the next generation of surgeons, and how we contribute to regional excellence in medicine,” the hospital management said.
With the introduction of the ZEISS KINEVO 900S, King Faisal Hospital continues to redefine surgical care in East Africa—one precision-guided operation at a time.
