US EditionRwanda to test AI-powered technology in clinics under a new Gates Foundation project
The $50 million Horizons1000 initiative aims to reduce health worker burden and improve care accuracy in clinics amid Rwanda's critical shortage of one worker per 1,000 patients.
- On Thursday, Rwanda will test AI-powered tools in more than 50 Rwandan health clinics as part of the Gates Foundation's Horizons1000 initiative.
- Horizons1000 was launched Wednesday by the Gates Foundation and OpenAI with $50 million in joint funding over two years.
- Andrew Muhire, a senior health official, said the technology will strengthen clinical judgment and improve efficiency, reducing administrative burden for clinicians in Rwanda's health system.
- Rwanda has one health care worker for 1,000 patients, far below the recommended ratio of 4:1,000, and Bill Gates said AI can be a gamechanger in countries facing shortages.
- Audace Niyonkuru noted efforts to develop AI in Kinyarwanda, spoken by about 75% of Rwanda, as digital experts warn English-based AI may create barriers.
