What this means

The document describes NHLS's AI-driven pathology research aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in South Africa's public healthcare system, with a focus on haematopathology and plasma cell burden assessment. It emphasizes that AI tools are meant to support rather than replace laboratory professionals, improve workflow and standardisation, and align with NHLS's five-year strategy for laboratory modernisation. Expert interpretation and clinical oversight remain essential in patient care as these technologies are developed and applied.
