    Funding Atlantic Canada’s first surgical robotics technology at the QEII.

Robot-assisted surgery is a cancer treatment option that’s never been available, here, in Atlantic Canada…until now.

HUMAN CONTROLLED. ROBOT ASSISTED. DONOR FUNDED.
Robot-assisted surgery at the QEII.

Robotic innovation is transforming the delivery of health care around the world and robot-assisted surgery is known to be the most effective method for treating certain cancers. With the support of several generous families who have been touched by cancer and saw a need, the QEII Foundation has been able to get this technology to the QEII on trial for prostate, gynecological, and kidney cancer treatment. But we still need the support of our community to help keep this technology at the QEII and to expand it to other types of cancer surgeries.

A THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM
Dr. Ross Mason

“By making a donation to robot-assisted surgery, you will ensure that this game-changing technology is here to stay. This technology is transforming patient care in Nova Scotia and will be funded entirely by donors like you. I’m proud to offer this option to my patients and grateful to people like you who continue to make that possible.”
