(Business in Cameroon) - Sophia Genetics, world leader in evidence-based medicine, announced on 24 March 2017 in Phoenix, USA, the list of African hospitals using Sophia, an instrument of artificial intelligence developed by the company, in order to improve patient diagnoses and healthcare.

Out of the seven African health facilities cited, five are Moroccan, the two others are South African and Cameroonian. In Cameroon, it is the hospital in the Bonassama district, a public health facility located in the town of Douala, the economic capital of the country. “In joining our community, the African hospitals break down technological barriers which prevent their patients from benefitting from the same standard of genomic tests as those of the best medical centres in Europe and the United States, for example. It is a magnificent story of accessibility, democratisation and hope”, stated Jurgi Camblong, CEO and co-founder of Sophia Genetics.
