AI in South Africa’s healthcare sector is helping bridge the gap in medical accessibility, especially in underserved regions. AI-powered diagnostic tools are accelerating the detection of diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, and even cancer, providing doctors with actionable insights faster and more accurately. For instance, AI-based imaging is proving invaluable in hospitals where specialists are limited, allowing early detection and improving patient outcomes. South African hospitals and clinics are also utilizing AI for virtual consultations, making healthcare more accessible to remote communities.
