BRICS countries will soon be able to diagnose, recommend, and dispense traditional medicine through internet access even in the most remote areas.
China is a global leader in the study and use of traditional medicine accounting for more than 30 % of the nation’s health budget. Beijing is ready to share the newly developed artificial intelligence technology with Africa and BRICS nations through the Africa-China AI Medics project.
It was first submitted to BRICS leaders by the BRICS Women in Business at the Johannesburg summit in 2023.
This will help African countries to disperse traditional medicine – in a continent that uses traditional medicine in different cultures.
To help with this, an AI Medics project is being led by the Meridian Smart Health Institute based in Beijing.
The company has promised to invite South African Health professionals to be trained in this tech in Beijing. Inga Mzileni filed a report on integrating traditional medicine into primary healthcare.
