Behind Every Robot, There’s a Human Story
Behind every successful robotic surgery at the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC) is a dedicated team whose skill is matched only by their compassion.
At the CGHMC Robocare Surgical Center, a team of internationally trained experts are redefining what it means to deliver advanced medical care — blending innovation, teamwork, and Filipino compassion.
A Team Built on Expertise and Trust
Led by Dr. Jason L. Letran, known as the Philippine Father of Robotic Surgery, the Robocare team includes highly trained surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and technical specialists working together to ensure each operation is safe, precise, and life-changing.
Using the Da Vinci Xi Dual Console Robotic System, the team performs complex procedures with 3D magnified vision and micro-movement precision — allowing for smaller incisions, reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times.
But for CGHMC’s robotic surgeons, mastery of technology is only part of the story. Their mission goes deeper — to bring world-class surgical care within reach, guided always by compassion and humanity.
“The robot enhances our precision — but it’s the human touch that heals,” says Dr. Letran.
When Precision Meets Compassion
At CGHMC, robotic surgery is not just about machines — it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and confidence to patients facing life-changing conditions. From delicate urologic and gynecologic surgeries to complex cancer and organ transplant operations, each case is treated with the same care and empathy as if the patient were family.
The dual-console feature of the Da Vinci Xi system also allows for real-time mentorship, enabling senior surgeons to train and guide the next generation of robotic specialists. This ensures that CGHMC’s standard of compassionate excellence continues to shape the future of Philippine healthcare.
Healing with Technology, Guided by Heart
As CGHMC continues to lead in robotic surgical innovation and accessibility, one truth remains constant — the most advanced technology means little without the warmth of human care.
Through teamwork, expertise, and compassion, the CGHMC Robocare Team proves that healing is both an art and a science — powered by innovation, sustained by compassion, and inspired by every Filipino life they touch
From complex cancer surgeries to delicate urologic and gynecologic cases, the team’s mission is clear: to deliver the most advanced, compassionate care possible to every Filipino patient.
