Robomed™ Global

Robomed™ is a pioneering medical technology company focused on expanding access to advanced robotic surgery across Africa and the developing world. Cofounded by Dr. Obi Ekwenna, a transplant surgeon and Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Toledo Medical Center, Robomed™ is redefining surgical care through innovation, training, and sustainable healthcare infrastructure.

In December 2025, Robomed™ reached a historic milestone with approval from NAFDAC for the Toumai robotic surgical system—the first robotic surgical platform approved by any regulatory authority in West Africa. This followed the successful completion of the region’s first robotic surgeries at NISA Premier Hospital, marking a transformative step toward delivering world-class surgical care to over 400 million people across the region.
