The goal of World Bank's flagship report „Digital-In-Health: Unlocking the Value for Everyone“ is to provide governments and other stakeholders with practical guidance on where to start, regardless of a country’s digital maturity or fiscal challenges. The World Bank remains ready to assist countries everywhere in reaching their full potential in the use of digital technologies to protect and accelerate the growth of human capital. Health Hub, as a think tank, would like to give a heads-up on visionary observations and recommendations from this Report, this time related to digital-in-climate and health as a follow up of our Green Healthcare Policy

In recent years, advances in three areas—methods and algorithms for training AI models, computer hardware needed to train these models, and access to large volumes of cancer data such as imaging, genomics, and clinical data—have converged, leading to promising new applications of AI in cancer research. Implemented in an ethical and scientifically rigorous manner, these uses of AI have the potential to rapidly advance cancer research, ensure better understanding of mechanisms of cancer, improve cancer screening and diagnosis, drug discovery, cancer surveillance, access and health care delivery- and create better health outcomes for all
