Some experts are reckoning that Artificial Intelligence is one of the technological developments that will, in no small way, impact health services, making them better.

"With medical knowledge doubling every 73 days, it is simply impossible to keep up with it. I know we are all trying our best but when baby AI grows up and has access to all the medical knowledge, all the diagnostic test, all the treatment plans, all the outcomes everywhere every specialty, the average frontline physician, the average GP , the average family medicine doctor will have access to everything.

"We need artificial intelligence in each step of surgery. We know everybody is saying surgery is just a procedure removing a tumour. No!

In an interview with The New Times, Dr Emmanuel Rudakemwa, a chief consultant radiologist at Rwanda Military Hospital, said technology has a role to play in improving Rwanda's healthcare.
