About

Dr. Yaneth Gil-Rojas is a leading health economist whose work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world healthcare value. Her primary research focuses on the cost-effectiveness of advanced medical technologies, particularly in orthopedics. Her most influential work, a 2025 study on robotic-arm assisted versus manual total knee arthroplasty in the UK, has already garnered significant attention. In this landmark analysis, Dr. Gil-Rojas rigorously estimated the additional cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of robotic-assisted surgery from the UK NHS perspective, providing crucial evidence for policymakers and clinicians. By demonstrating the economic implications of adopting robotic technology, her research directly informs resource allocation decisions in an era of rising healthcare costs. With her work cited in high-impact policy discussions, Dr. Gil-Rojas is shaping how we evaluate the true value of surgical advancements, ensuring that patient outcomes and financial sustainability go hand in hand. Her contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of health economics, technology assessment, and value-based care.
