RIYADH: Lives in developing countries could be extended by nine years if 5 percent more GDP is invested in health care systems, according to a new global health care study published by the Future Investment Initiative Institute (FII-I).
The not-for-profit global foundation behind the Kingdom’s annual Future Investment Initiative conference also revealed that integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into existing health care systems could increase the efficiency of health care investments by up to 20 percent.
FII Institute CEO Richard Attias called the study “dramatic in its findings,” and said that if governments made wise investment decisions they could increase life expectancy and make health services work better for people in every part of the planet.
