Bill Gates and Health Minister Dr Sabin Nsanzimana visited Rwanda’s National Health Intelligence Centre, which uses real-time healthcare data and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve service delivery. Gates saw Rwanda’s health transformation efforts, including community health work, electronic medical records, local manufacturing, and real-time health data systems. The Centre centralises and analyses health data from hospitals, health centres, and community health workers to improve healthcare delivery and prepare for disease threats. The visit signals to young Rwandans that the future of opportunity will belong to those who can combine technology with real problem-solving. Health AI should not be understood as a replacement for clinicians but as a tool to help doctors, nurses, community health workers, hospitals, and policymakers work better, faster, and more efficiently. A young person who wants to work in health AI must understand the health system and the problem statement before building an AI solution. Medical students, public-health students, AI students, data students, software developers, biomedical engineers, researchers, and technology entrepreneurs all have a role but must learn to work across disciplines.
