Between the hype and harm: does artificial intelligence in health offer solace or further exclusion for marginalised populations in Sub-Saharan Africa? A scoping review

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into healthcare systems and has the potential to improve health outcomes. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), however, concerns remain that AI may either reduce or exacerbate existing health inequities depending on how it is developed, governed, and implemented.

Current reading — gain

AI applications in healthcare could expand access and improve disease surveillance and health system planning for marginalised populations in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Current reading — problem

AI integration may reinforce health inequities for marginalised populations in Sub-Saharan Africa due to infrastructure gaps, algorithmic bias, under-representation of African datasets, and weak governance.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0645 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
