About
Dr. Hanin-Farhana Kamaruzaman is a leading health economist whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical innovation and cost-effectiveness. Her primary research focuses on the economic evaluation of emerging medical technologies, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted surgery. In her landmark 2024 paper, "Economic Evaluations of Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Methods, Challenges and Opportunities," which has already garnered 22 citations, she systematically dissects the methodological complexities of assessing the value of high-cost surgical robots. Dr. Kamaruzaman’s major contribution lies in developing a robust framework that moves beyond simple cost comparisons, incorporating patient outcomes, long-term system savings, and the hidden costs of training and maintenance. Her work provides healthcare decision-makers with the tools needed to justify or challenge the adoption of robotic platforms, directly influencing hospital budgets and national health policy. By highlighting the persistent gaps in current evaluation methods, she has set a new research agenda for the field, making her a pivotal voice for anyone studying the economics of modern surgery.
