The Spin

Gates Foundation's AI health push in Africa mirrors its failed agricultural interventions that deepened hunger and corporate control. The same pattern of imposing Western technological solutions without accountability to African communities now threatens healthcare systems with data privacy risks, biased AI models and increased dependency on foreign corporations.

AI technology offers a transformative solution to Africa's critical healthcare worker shortage of 6 million people. With only one healthcare worker per 1,000 people in countries like Rwanda, AI tools can streamline administrative tasks, improve diagnosis and expand quality care access without waiting decades for traditional infrastructure development.
