In a press release, Bossa Studios’ CEO Henrique Olifiers spoke about the decision to launch the initiative. “At Bossa, we’ve always envisioned Surgeon Simulator 2 as a valuable training tool for NHS workers to hone their healthcare skills,” Olifiers joked. “The Surgeon Simulator 2 community is frankly rubbish at saving Bob, so we think our players need to be shown how it’s really done.”
