As disease agents do not respect borders, promoting international health security should be the key focus of overseas aid, encompassing initiatives to combat infectious diseases like COVID-19, Ebola, mpox, malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).Item Transformative potential of artificial intelligence on health care and research in Africa(Elsevier BV, 2024-03-13) Bockarie, Moses JThe rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands out as a revolutionary technological force, surpassing the transformative impact observed during the transition to web and mobile technologies.\[1,2\] Advances in technology present opportunities for enhancing scientific discovery, accelerating human progress, and improving quality of life.
