The present invention relates to a medical manipulator and a medical robot system. The manipulator has a connecting block, a joint shaft, and a distal-end working unit. The distal-end working unit has a gripper, a pitch axis, and a yaw axis which serve as distal-end joints for changing the orientation of the gripper. The gripper, the pitch axis, and the yaw axis are operated by rotors around which wires are wound. The joint shaft has a first intermediate joint and a second intermediate joint which are bendable by the wires which are moved back and forth. Since the manipulator can be bent at the first intermediate joint and the second intermediate joint, the joint shaft can appropriately be placed, and the gripper can be adjusted to an appropriate orientation with respect to an organ by being turned around the pitch axis and the yaw axis.
