Summary:
The healthcare sector, vital to global well-being, is experiencing a transformative shift with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Healthcare has always been central to humanity’s advancement, and with modern challenges like aging populations and rising healthcare costs, innovative solutions are critical. According to the World Health Organization, over half the world’s population lacks access to essential health services, highlighting the urgent need for more efficient healthcare systems.
As Africa’s population is projected to reach 2.6 billion by 2050, the continent faces increasing demands on its healthcare infrastructure. AI-driven innovations offer immense potential to address these challenges, improving diagnostics, treatment, and patient care while alleviating pressure on healthcare professionals.
This session will explore the cutting-edge applications of AI in healthcare, focusing on real-world implementations, current challenges, and future opportunities. Participants will gain insights into how AI is transforming patient care, improving disease management, and addressing healthcare inequalities, contributing to the development of more sustainable and effective health systems worldwide.
