Review on the Application of Medical Artificial Intelligence in The Gambia's Health Care System

It is evident that quality health care increases the likelihood of desired health outcomes, leading to a healthy nation, and of course, preserving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a healthful working population. Medical Artificial Intelligence (MAI) technologies have been radically transforming the health care systems of advanced countries such as China, the US, and India. However, The Gambia continues to struggle with the provision of equity and quality health care services, and very little or no research has been done to explore the advantage of adopting innovative technological solutions, such as MAI, to mitigate these challenges. Therefore, this paper evaluates the adoption of MAI technologies within The Gambia's health care system, intending to attain the quantifiable attributes of quality health care, such as equity, easy accessibility, timeliness, affordability, safety, and effectiveness. Additionally, the paper presents and discussed the motivation, use cases, and challenges of adopting these technologies. Most importantly, it also recommends the adoption of specific feasible MAI technologies for adoption. Finally, the findings presented in this paper will not only help to better understand the current challenges faced by Gambia's health care system but, most importantly, the solutions to these problems.
