Artificial intelligence is redefining industries globally, and healthcare is no exception. From improving diagnostic accuracy to personalizing treatment plans and enhancing patient outcomes, AI holds the key to addressing many of the continent’s healthcare challenges. With it’s ability to process vast datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and make real-time, data-driven decisions is a game-changer for healthcare providers across Africa.
However, despite the immense potential of AI, its integration into healthcare systems on the continent is not without challenges. Infrastructural gaps, ethical considerations, and a lack of trained AI specialists present significant challenges. This webinar aims to address these critical issues while showcasing the practical applications and benefits of AI for healthcare systems, particularly at the grassroots level.
Speaking on the upcoming webinar, the MD/CEO of PSHAN, Dr Tinuola Akinbolagbe, emphasised the importance of embracing AI for healthcare advancement, stating, “As healthcare providers and stakeholders, it is imperative that we leverage the power of artificial intelligence to improve the quality of care we deliver to Nigerians.
This webinar, hosted by American Business Council, will provide a platform for experts to share their knowledge and insights on how AI can be leveraged to enhance diagnostics, treatment, and overall patient outcomes across Nigeria and its borders.”
The webinar will include a panel session with panelists such as Dr Anthony Adoghe, Deputy Director, Federal Ministry of Health Nigeria; Dr. George Uduku, General Manager, GE Healthcare, West Africa; and Dr. Hammed Ninalowo, Founder/CEO, IRDOC Nigeria. The session will be moderated by Dr Nneka Mobisson, CEO/Co-Founder, mDoc. Margaret Olele, CEO/Executive Secretary, American Business Council, will serve as the host.
This timely webinar will serve as a key conversation for healthcare professionals, policymakers, tech innovators, and the general public with a vested interest in the future of healthcare in Africa. With AI poised to bridge critical gaps in healthcare, this discussion promises to offer actionable insights on how to overcome challenges and harness AI’s full potential in improving health services across the continent.
