ZAP Surgical Systems has announced that its ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery platform will be installed at the upcoming Ibn Sina Medical Center in Casablanca, making it the first hospital in Morocco and Africa to adopt the advanced system. ZAP Surgical, founded by Dr. John R. Adler in 2014, designs non-invasive robotic platforms for cranial radiosurgery. The ZAP-X system features gyroscopic targeting for precise radiation delivery and eliminates the need for Cobalt-60 isotopes by using a modern linear accelerator. Its self-contained, self-shielded design also removes the need for expensive radiation vaults, making installation more practical. The system is scheduled for installation in summer 2025, with patient treatments expected to begin in the fall.
Dr. Faouzi L'Habeeb, Chairman of Ibn Sina Medical Center, stated, “The ZAP-X platform signifies the future of brain tumor treatment, allowing us to improve patients' quality of life both throughout and following their treatment.” John R. Adler, Founder and CEO of ZAP Surgical, added, “By reducing the costs and complexities of traditional SRS delivery, ZAP aims to support providers such as Ibn Sina Medical Center and others around the globe with best-in-class care.” The project was supported by Promedstore Imaging, ZAP-X’s regional distributor, led by Issam Fadil and Faisal Khalil Jouhari.
