Interviews were conducted with 18 participants from relevant institutions and were analyzed thematically using NVivo.FindingsThe study identified four types of stakeholders based on their power and interest: Key Players, Keep Informed, Keep Satisfied, and Minimal Effort. Stakeholders influenced the adoption of robotic telesurgery through three mechanisms: technological, organizational, and environmental. These mechanisms include the technology’s advantages, trust, communication, infrastructure readiness, regulatory support, and alignment of interests.Originality/valueThis study is pioneering in examining how different types of stakeholders contribute to the adoption of robotic telesurgery in a developing country. The findings provide practical insights into managing stakeholder collaboration for the effective implementation of advanced health technologies.
