Dr George Agyekum Donkor, the President of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID), has called on African nations invest in the development of their health personnel to address the growing shortage of medical professionals. Sourcing a report by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr Donkor said the global health body has estimated a global shortage of about 11 million health workers by 2030, with Africa expected to experience some of the greatest pressures. “It’s therefore time to rethink healthcare architecture by embracing AI-powered diagnostics, research, medical technology manufacturing and enterprises that serve the masses across the continent,” Dr Donkor said. Prof Lydia Aziato, Vice-Chancellor of UHAS, called for stronger collaboration among universities, industry and development partners to integrate Artificial Intelligence into health education, research and healthcare delivery. The main theme of the ICAIH is “Accelerating Adoption of Healthcare AI in Ghana: From Vision and Policy to Practice and Impact.”
