$1.05 MILLION

RAISED FOR NEUROLOGICAL ROBOTICS SYSTEM

Thanks to the generosity of the late Clarence and Marjorie Anderson, whose legacy lives on through their charitable gift, the QEII will soon welcome groundbreaking technology for patients living with uncontrolled epilepsy. The ROSA One Brain System, an advanced surgical robot and the first of its kind in Atlantic Canada, will empower surgeons to pinpoint the source of seizures deep within the brain, potentially offering patients a cure. 

The use of this neurosurgical robot will mean more people will have surgeries. It will be done in a safer way. It will increase our ability to positively alter the lives of many patients. This generosity will absolutely change lives. – Dr. David Clarke

The new neurological robot will be a game-changer for QEII neurosurgical teams. The ROSA One Brain System will integrate with the QEII’s current StealthStation robotic equipment, eliminating the margin of human error for sensitive surgical measurements. Time-saving features will allow surgeons to perform more efficiently, reducing operating time for certain procedures by 30 to 40 per cent.
