India Advances AI in Healthcare Amid Challenges in Research, Safety, and AccessPreviousNext

India's healthcare sector faces challenges and opportunities amid rapid growth and technological advances. The government launched a national AI strategy to improve healthcare delivery, focusing on prevention and data evaluation. However, concerns remain about prioritizing efficiency over systemic change, low investment in health research, and safety issues highlighted by incidents like contaminated medicines. Experts emphasize treating health as a public good, addressing out-of-pocket costs, and ensuring responsible innovation and regulation to improve outcomes and equity.
