The Gates Foundation and OpenAI have launched a $50 million initiative aimed at deploying artificial intelligence (AI) tools across 1,000 primary healthcare clinics in sub-Saharan Africa by 2028.

According to Bill Gates, the initiative’s goal is to double healthcare efficiency by eliminating paperwork and optimising resource management, ensuring patients have clear information on what services are available and when to seek care.
