Islamabad : Capital Hospital has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alibaba Medical AI to introduce artificial intelligence (AI)-based screening solutions in imaging radiology.
The signing ceremony was held at Capital Hospital and attended by Executive Director Dr. Muhammad Naeem Taj, senior doctors of the hospital, and representatives of Alibaba Medical AI. The initiative is part of the vision of CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Islamabad Muhammad Ali Randhawa and is being implemented under the guidance of CDA Member Administration Talat Mahmood to modernize public healthcare facilities.
