Why Choose Robotic Surgery at Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center

A New Era of Surgery in the Philippines

At Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC), surgery has evolved beyond scalpels and long incisions. With the introduction of the Robocare Surgical Center, CGHMC brings world-class robotic-assisted surgery to Filipino patients, combining innovation with compassionate care.

The question many patients ask is: Why robotic surgery? And more importantly, why CGHMC?

The Robotic Advantage: Precision That Changes Outcomes

Robotic surgery isn’t simply about technology—it’s about outcomes that matter to patients:

Smaller incisions that reduce scarring and pain
Greater precision that protects delicate nerves and organs
Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery
Lower risk of complications compared to open surgery

For patients, this means fewer days in a hospital bed, a quicker return to family and work, and a higher quality of life after surgery.
