In an interview for tonight’s edition, the founder of an AI‑driven surgical non‑profit detailed a collaborative initiative aimed at alleviating the workload of Tanzania’s 27 neurosurgeons, who are currently managing an overwhelming caseload.

Officials from the Ministry of Health confirmed that the pilot program, now operational in several districts, is expected to improve surgical outcomes and serve as a model for similar capacity‑building efforts throughout East Africa.
