Michael Quirke: Evolution Healthcare's Hospitals CEO on the increased use of robotic surgeries - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Robotic surgeries are taking off, bringing positive outcomes for the health sector. 

Evolution Healthcare says it's more than doubled the number of robotic surgeries in the past two years at Wellington's Wakefield Hospital. 

It says it's on target to complete more than 300 this year, up from 243 last year. 

Evolution CEO Michael Quirke told Mike Hosking efficiencies are increasingly being found as the technology develops, with new generations becoming less invasive. 

More importantly, he says, the enhanced outcomes are creating an outstanding result for both the patients and broader health systems.
