Slow Digital Adoption Stalls Healthcare Progress in Africa

The decline in healthcare funding across Africa has led the medical community to explore innovative solutions aimed at ensuring accessible and sustainable healthcare for all, writes Dr. Maureen Waithaka, consultant pathologist at The Pathology Network. 

Dr. Waithaka writes about the critical importance of digitizing pathology, saying its transformative impact on diagnosis and its role in advancing precision and personalized medicine. And that the development of high-resolution digital slides from traditional glass slides, along with artificial intelligence models capable of analyzing these slides to identify pathologies, could significantly improve patient outcomes.

To "revolutionize healthcare delivery", her allAfrica guest column calls for the adoption of these technological advancements.
