Improving Healthcare in Angola with Artificial Intelligence

In the era of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept but a transformative force reshaping global healthcare. From streamlining diagnostics in the U.S. to real-time stroke care in the UK, AI is setting new standards for medical precision. But how can this revolution benefit regions with limited resources? Focusing on Angola's unique landscape, this book explores how AI can serve as a powerful lever to leapfrog infrastructure limitations and address deep-seated health inequities. By analyzing international breakthroughs and the current state of the Angolan health system, the authors define a strategic roadmap for the future. From the historic transcontinental robotic telesurgery in Luanda on 14 June 2025, where Angola demonstrated that world-class medical innovation is possible on African soil - with the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - approved transcontinental robotic telesurgery between the United States and Africa performed in Luanda, to the need for robust ethical frameworks, this work provides an essential guide to integrating AI safely and inclusively, ensuring that technology serves those who need it most.
