She noted three important things through which this can be done — sustainable procurement and waste management approaches and the use of artificial intelligence to provide care for the patient at home.
“We are seeing many patients coming from Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain going to Abu Dhabi… If I can afford the care for those patients through the advanced AI, then it will go that way. The outcome you may not see today, but you are going to five years later. This is an important, quick win that we can do in the hospital sector,” she said, highlighting the significant role of telemedicine and advanced AI technology during the COVID-19 pandemic.
