How AI Is Revolutionising African Healthcare
- AI helps African clinicians find diseases earlier and route patients to appropriate care.
- The WHO emphasizes the need for ethical deployment of AI systems in healthcare.
- AI-assisted routing and drones are improving delivery times for medical supplies in remote areas.
The integration of AI in African healthcare presents a significant opportunity to address systemic challenges such as limited specialist availability and long patient travel times. However, it is crucial to ensure that AI systems are implemented ethically and transparently to avoid potential risks and biases. Ongoing validation and monitoring of AI tools will be essential to maintain trust and effectiveness in clinical settings.
