Kisubi Hospital has officially commissioned and blessed the East Africa’s first-ever artificial intelligence (AI)-powered MRI machine — a major step forward for medical care in Uganda.
His Grace Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere and Hon. Chris Baryomunsi the Minister of health witnessed this momentous occasion.
Unlike regular MRI machines, this new scanner can listen, think, and respond to voice commands. It uses AI to help doctors and technicians capture clearer images, faster and more accurately.
The hospital admits; “We thought we were just installing an MRI — but it turns out, it’s a smart machine that actually reasons with the operator. Yes, it listens. I think. It responds.”
This is one of only two such machines on the entire African continent, and the only one in East Africa. The machine will be used for a wide range of important tests.
