Surgical Robotics

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.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT TODAY

Your gift, doubled, by Dr. Howard Conter.

“As a physician who refers patients to the QEII for this treatment – but also a son whose family has been touched by prostate cancer and other diseases – this is a project and cause that’s very important to me. Which is why until December 31, 2019, my family and I will be matching all donations made to robot-assisted surgery up to $100,000. This means your donation will be doubled."

Dr. Howard Conter is a member of the QEII Foundation’s Volunteer Board of Trustees, and a family physician in Halifax who has already referred patients for robot-assisted surgery with very successful outcomes.
