    Description

    Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced technology has seen unprecedented expansion in the recent past. This growth brings with it huge opportunities for the positive transformation of the economy, business, healthcare, and society. However, a critical question is whether, and to what extent, regulatory measures and mechanisms have been implemented to safeguard its design, development, and deployment. This paper offers a scoping exercise that maps the regulatory landscape of AI in healthcare (including health research) in certain African countries.Methods: This research is conducted across 12 African countries: Botswana, Cameroon, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. As limited specific AI legislation is found in these African countries, and because AI is informed by ancillary regulatory frameworks, we include data protection, digital health, consumer protection, and intellectual property in our research. A scoping review method was applied with a manual search of digital libraries with search terms customised for each repository consisting of core search terms for the various topics, including, among others, “law,” “regulation,” “artificial intelligence,” “data protection,” “intellectual property,” and “digital health”.Results and discussion: Analysis of the data demonstrated that while in the African countries under investigation there is no sui generis AI regulation, recent developments were found in areas that inform AI adoption, including in digital health, data protection, consumer protection, and intellectual property. Our findings highlight the fragmentation of the African AI regulatory landscape and illustrate the importance of continued AI regulatory development to ensure that Africa is well positioned for future AI adoption in health.

    Description

    Method

    The dataset contains several confirmed COVID-19 cases, number of deaths, and death rate in six regions. The objective of the study is to compare the number of confirmed cases in Africa to other regions.

    Death rate = Total number of deaths from COVID-19 divided by the Total Number of infected patients.

    The study provides evidence for the country-level in six regions by the World Health Organisation's classification.

    Findings

    Based on the descriptive data provided above, we conclude that the lack of tourism is one of the key reasons why COVID-19 reported cases are low in Africa compared to other regions. We also justified this claim by providing evidence from the economic freedom index, which indicates that the vast majority of African countries recorded a low index for a business environment. On the other hand, we conclude that the death rate is higher in the African region compared to other regions. This points to issues concerning health-care expenditure, low capacity for testing for COVID-19, and poor infrastructure in the region.

    Apart from COVID-19, there are significant pre-existing diseases, namely; Malaria, Flu, HIV/AIDS, and Ebola in the continent. This study, therefore, invites the leaders to invest massively in the health-care system, infrastructure, and human capital in order to provide a sustainable environment for today and future generations. Lastly, policy uncertainty has been a major issue in determining a sustainable development goal on the continent. This uncertainty has differentiated Africa to other regions in terms of stepping up in the time of global crisis.

    Description

    With the recent Ebola epidemic, the flaws in Liberia’s medical infrastructure have been made painfully obvious. Liberia, a country of four million people, has only 37 practicing doctors according to health officials. This is evidence of a serious lack in the availability of medical services to the majority of Liberians. An American gynecologist who visited the country in 2012 to provide services with a team from the Mt. Sinai Hospital observed families of hospital patients supplying their own food and bed linens due to the medical facility they were working in lacking funds for basic necessities. The root issue at the heart of many of Liberia’s woes stems from the long civil war. In addition to damaging the medical infrastructure, the country’s only medical school was forced to close for long periods of time, resulting in medical students taking an average eight years to graduate. There has been a serious push for reform and revitalization with medical facilities being rebuilt and medical students now on track to spend only three years in school. Liberia is facing a number of issues, and prior to the current epidemic has not prioritized health expenditures. The government spends an estimated 16.8 percent of their GDP, the lowest in the world, on healthcare. The average GDP spending on healthcare systems in sub-Saharan Africa is ~50 percent. Liberia’s healthcare system is highly dependent on international aid. Donors finance 50 percent of total health expenditures. Approximately 80 percent of all health services are provided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. However, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has been working with NGOs such as Health Systems 20/20 to improve their existing infrastructure.
