SUMMARY BOX
- Artificial intelligence (AI) integration in healthcare, particularly in conflict zones like Syria, has the potential to enhance clinical care, providing remote diagnostics and monitoring capabilities that are crucial in areas with shortages of healthcare workers and specialists.
- Beyond direct clinical care, AI holds the potential to revolutionise healthcare planning, resource allocation, healthcare protection and community health promotion.
- The deployment of AI in healthcare settings, especially in fragile environments, necessitates rigorous ethical considerations and tailored implementation strategies to ensure these technologies support ethical, equitable and effective healthcare delivery without exacerbating existing vulnerabilities or security risks.
