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 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.
