Fondazione Medicina a Misura di Donna ETS
The Fondazione Medicina a Misura di Donna ETS is a third-sector non-profit organisation (ente del terzo settore, ETS) active in Turin, supporting projects of clinical and technological innovation dedicated to women's health, in partnership with the Sant'Anna Hospital in Turin.
The project for Sant'Anna's gynaecological surgery
On 6 November 2026 the Foundation presented an investment of around €3.8 million aimed at strengthening precision gynaecological surgery at Turin's Sant'Anna Hospital, carried out with contributions from the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation and Intesa Sanpaolo [1][2]. The project included the acquisition of a da Vinci Xi dual-console robotic platform, four 3D/4K Ultra HD laparoscopic systems with fluorescence technology, six digital integration systems for operating theatres and a high-performance ultrasound scanner [2][3].
The initiative also included a training programme involving 92 professionals, among them surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and healthcare support staff, for a total of around 500 hours of individual participation [2][3]. The system permanently connects six operating theatres, Sant'Anna's university teaching rooms and the REC - Research and Educational Center for Obstetrics and Gynaecology, allowing real-time two-way audiovisual communication to follow and discuss surgical procedures live [1][3].
Stated aims
According to the presentation, the model aims to permanently integrate surgical activity, simulation and training, going beyond the mere acquisition of technology to also invest in professionals' skills [1][3]. Benefits cited for patients include less surgical trauma, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery in cases of minimally invasive surgery where clinically appropriate [1][2][3].
