Description
Zahra Ali and colleagues survey health workers in Balochistan about artificial intelligence in a 2026 cross-sectional study. The province is among Pakistan's most resource-limited, and the team measured knowledge, attitudes, and everyday use of AI tools among 153 professionals.
Nearly three quarters showed good knowledge, yet fewer than four in ten held a positive attitude, and about six in ten reported good practice. Radiology and clinical decision support were the commonest uses in clinics. Where a person worked mattered, with staff at one Quetta hospital group notably less positive than staff at another. The authors recommend targeted education and institutional support to close the attitude gap.
