مستخلص: Robotic surgery and telemedicine have revolutionized the healthcare industry, offering improved patient outcomes and access to medical knowledge. However, Pakistan lags behind in adopting these cutting-edge technologies due to several challenges, including limited infrastructure, budget constraints, and low awareness among patients and healthcare professionals. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of the healthcare system in Pakistan, highlighting the need for investment and policy reforms to integrate robotic surgery and telemedicine effectively. The potential benefits, including medical tourism, enhanced facilities, and skilled workforce retention, are discussed as incentives for the government to embrace digital medicine and bridge the healthcare gap. Through increased awareness, training programs, and collaborations with other nations, Pakistan can pave the way for a digitally empowered healthcare future.
