Headline: CAU and AKFA Medline University Hospital Held the First Residency Orientation Day and Introduced the EDGE MP1000 Surgical Robot

On September 13, AKFA Medline University Hospital hosted a landmark event for Uzbekistan’s healthcare sector. Central Asian University and AKFA Medline University Hospital held the country’s first-ever Residency Orientation Day and simultaneously introduced Uzbekistan’s first robotic surgical system, the EDGE MP1000.

For young doctors, this day marked the start of a new residency program — an introduction to the clinical base, mentors, and modern educational practices. Residents received their first ID cards and wrote about the future technologies they dream of bringing into medicine, creating a symbolic “Doctor’s Path Capsule.”

As part of the event, guests witnessed a unique moment for Uzbekistan — a live broadcast of a surgery performed using the EDGE MP1000. The robotic system was tested in real time: its precision and capabilities were demonstrated during an actual surgical procedure, clearly confirming its effectiveness.

Both milestones — the launch of the residency program and the introduction of cutting-edge technologies — reflect the shared path chosen by CAU and AKFA Medline: training a new generation of doctors while creating opportunities to apply global medical innovations.

Congratulations to our first residents! This day symbolizes your determination and responsibility, your drive to move forward and elevate medicine to a new level. We are proud of you and confident that each of you will become part of a great success story.
