In view of the rising importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, the leading medical university in the Middle East region, has introduced a certificate program in ‘Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare’, which will equip students, researchers and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to apply AI in the healthcare environment. The introductory sessions of the program was held at the Gulf Medical University campus on the 21st and 22nd of February 2020, led by visiting international faculty Dr. Sandeep Reddy, Associate Professor of Healthcare Management and Medical Informatics, Deakin School of Medicine, Melbourne and Chairman of Medi-AI, who was invited by the Gulf Medical University.
Leading academics and healthcare leaders including Dr. Mouza Al Sharhan, President - Emirates Medical Association, Ms. Amina Al Saadi, Head - Zayed Higher Organisation, Abu Dhabi and several others from all over the country attended the introductory sessions, which covered the first two modules of the 6-module program.

All participants will be awarded a certificate of competency by GMU, upon successful completion of all modules of the program.
Commenting on the new program, Prof. Hossam Hamdy, the Chancellor of GMU said, “Artificial Intelligence is already bringing about rapid changes in healthcare systems and practices globally, yet the healthcare industry has a shortage of professionals who have the skills and training to capitalize on this change. This new certificate program in ‘Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare’ will address this challenge by producing healthcare professionals armed with knowledge of AI, its practical applications and its potential in improving healthcare systems. The new program also comes in the wake of the UAE’s AI Strategy which seeks to deploy AI across key sectors including healthcare.”
“With the UAE government actively pursuing opportunities in AI, and top medical institutions in the country like the Gulf Medical University rightly identifying AI as an integral part of future healthcare systems, there will be increasing application of AI in healthcare to improve patient outcomes,” said Dr. Sandeep Reddy.

Why did BJP ask its leaders to say Constitution will be changed?: Akhilesh Yadav
Agra (UP) (PTI): Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday targeted the BJP, saying why did it "ask its leaders" to repeatedly say that the "Constitution would be changed".
Addressing an election rally in Jalesar of Agra Lok Sabha constituency, Yadav said that the "lying" BJP government will have to answer the "real questions" of the people in the ongoing elections.
"The public's real question for the BJP is why did it ask its leaders to repeatedly say that the Constitution given by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar will be changed? Does the BJP have an answer to this?" the SP chief said.
"Why did the BJP raise the issue of changing the Constitution -- that protects the exploited, deprived and oppressed -- to end reservations. These are the real questions of the public, to which the BJP has no answer," he said.
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yadav said, "Those who used to talk about 'Mann Ki Baat' should now talk about the Constitution. Now, they can not do everything according to their whims. Now, the lying BJP government will have to face the true questions of the people."
Yadav further targeted the government over lack of government jobs, papers leak and the Agnipath scheme.
"If BJP does not have an answer, it should not be given votes," he said.
Terming the electoral bonds as a ploy to extort industrialists, Yadav said it led to inflation.
After the Lok Sabha elections, when the INDIA bloc government is formed, the Agniveer scheme will be abolished, farmers will get guaranteed minimum support price and the poor will get more nutritious free ration, he said.
The poor and women will also be given Rs 1 lakh, he added.
Agra will go to polls on May 7 in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
