Strategic AI Adoption in Healthcare

Mauritius has declared AI a national priority — a Healthcare Innovation and AI Unit, a national AI strategy,

and a commitment to train 50,000 people in practical AI skills. For health leaders, the strategic question has

shifted from whether to how: how to procure well, govern sensibly, and turn AI into a genuine multiplier of a

stretched clinical workforce rather than an expensive pilot that quietly dies. Drawing on deployments across

the UK's national health system and the Gulf's largest providers — including published impact data on

clinician time returned and documentation quality — this session covers what separates the health systems

getting compounding value from AI from those collecting proof-of-concepts. Candid, evidence-led, and

unafraid of the cautionary tales.
