About
Dr. Sarnai Erdene is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of global surgical equity and advanced technology. Her work focuses on how remote robotic surgery and virtual education platforms can dismantle barriers to surgical care in resource-limited settings. Her most-cited paper, "Remote Robotic Surgery and Virtual Education Platforms: How Advanced Surgical Technologies Can Increase Access to Surgical Care in Resource-Limited Settings" (2023, 9 citations), provides a critical framework for leveraging telepresence, robotic systems, and simulation to address the fact that 5 billion people lack safe surgical access. Dr. Erdene’s major contribution lies in mapping the infrastructure—from internet connectivity to robotic hardware—required to make these solutions viable in low-resource environments. Her research is notable for its pragmatic, systems-level approach, moving beyond proof-of-concept to outline actionable pathways for implementation. By demonstrating that cutting-edge surgical tools can be democratized, she is reshaping how the global health community thinks about capacity building. Dr. Erdene’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of equitable surgical care, digital health, and the role of technology in closing the global surgery gap.
