In the first week,?two trained surgical teams performed ten groundbreaking surgeries, each improving lives. Within just seven days, ten patients and their families experienced renewed hope and healing, highlighting the profound impact this innovative technology can have on people’s lives.?

This remarkable achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of KBC Zagreb Hospital and a multi-functional, multi-national SOFMEDICA team, which provided comprehensive training, demo and clinical equipment, and support to ensure the program's seamless launch.?SOFMEDICA aims to bridge the gap between life-saving technologies and patients by empowering healthcare professionals with an innovation and education ecosystem.??
