Use this server as a **RAG entry point**, not a standalone health oracle. **Research basis:** - *RAG Best Practices for Medical Domain* (2026): RAG outperforms chain-of-thought on complex medical reasoning and is more interpretable — critical in clinical contexts. - *AfricaNLP 2025/2026*: Only 4 African languages (incl. Swahili) have consistent NLP support. Healthcare is identified as the highest-priority domain needing accurate, grounded AI — and the one with the most critical data gaps. - *Multilingual NLP for African Healthcare* (AfricaNLP 2025): Bias and translation errors persist specifically in African health AI contexts. **Appropriate use:** ✅ Health facility navigation, NHIF coverage lookup, community health worker support ✅ Health information grounded in verified Kenya health system data ✅ Triage to appropriate care level ❌ Diagnosis, prescription, or clinical decision-making (human-in-the-loop require …
