Regional Hospital Kladno Officially Opens State-of-the-Art Robotic Surgery Center

On September 23, we attended the official opening of the Center for Robotic Surgery at the Regional Hospital Kladno. In May of this year, our Medical Technologies Division installed the Versius robotic system at the facility, trained the first team of surgeons, and since then more than 80 procedures have been successfully performed – all without complications.

The opening ceremony was attended by Ing. Pavel Pavlík, Deputy Governor of the Central Bohemian Region for Healthcare, who additionally allocated a subsidy of CZK 38 million to support this technology. The program began with a visit to the robotic operating theatre, where MUDr. Jiří Kočárek, Ph.D., Head of Department, together with representatives of our division, introduced the principles of robotic surgery and the specific advantages of the Versius system.

This was followed by a press conference presenting experiences with clinical implementation, staff training, initial procedures, and the long-term vision for the center’s development. Hospital Director and Chairman of the Board, Ing. Jaromír Bureš, together with Dr. Jiří Kočárek, acknowledged the cooperation with the Promedica Praha Group implementation team and outlined the vision of a multidisciplinary center that will serve urology, gynecology, and colorectal surgery.

In addition, the facility will become an international reference center for urological surgery using the Versius system. This achievement is also connected to the fact that Dr. Jiří Kočárek has become the first official Czech preceptor (specialist trainer) of Cambridge Medical Robotics.

The event also included a discussion and the presentation of a promotional video created in collaboration between the Medical Technologies Division, the marketing department, and the Kladno Hospital robotic team.

We believe that this event has helped strengthen relations with the Regional Hospital Kladno and the network of Central Bohemian hospitals, while also enhancing the reputation of Promedica Praha as a reliable partner in providing technological support to Czech healthcare facilities.
