Kinondo Kwetu Hospital will become a training center for AI-supported diagnosis

The research at Kinondo Kwetu Hospital to develop an AI-supported diagnostic method, that was led by Professor Johan Lundin from Karolinska Institute in Sweden, has been successful. It is now possible to screen for pre-stages of cervical cancer by using artificial intelligence. This means that the great shortage of pathologists will not prevent women from being examined for this disease. And, as a direct result of this research, about 50 women were diagnosed and treated for pre-cancerous lesions that could otherwise lead to cervical cancer.

As a result, the results of the research will now be implemented and Kinondo Kwetu Hospital will become a training center, and the research will expand to develop diagnostic methods for other conditions.
