Good morning fellow delegates, distinguished chairperson,
Imagine one day for some reasons you’re a patient in an African hospital and your doctor came to meet you, this is very common in any hospital, but what is not common is that you discovered that your doctor is a robot! My delegation thinks that one day no matters when, in Ethiopia and in surrounding African countries we would have robots and new machines in the medical field. Medical progress and generally progress doesn’t stop at the frontiers of a certain state. So our delegation is fully concerned about this issue.
The contact between the human and machines has started concretely since 1950. The benefits today are balanced with the flaws. In health care robots could raise the efficacy of medicine in surgical precision, the extract of blood sample, the psychological support for the patients, the disinfection of operation rooms, allowing paralyzed people to walk… and more? However, do we trust more robots, human conceptions than the humans themselves? Are we going one day to have a surgical operation made by a robot surgeon? Is everyone going to accept it? And if it would be possible in MEDCs (more economically developed countries), could it be done really in LEDCSs (less economically developed countries)? These are the challenges of tomorrow.
The use of the big data analysis to define human interactions and behavior came to be very frequent in varied sectors. So why doesn’t the medical sector benefit from the big data as well? Artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems to operate functions usually depending on human intelligence. Our delegation is aiming to fight against some diseases spread in Ethiopia such as malaria and HIV with the use of big data and artificial intelligence. At the scale of a small hospital, a medical history of the patient could be done for every visit so that the risk of any mistaken medical diagnosis would be reduced. In addition, at the scale of the state, statistics for some diseases could be made faster and in an efficient manner to evaluate the reasons of these diseases. Furthermore, the use of big data and artificial intelligence is unlimited. It could be applied for the proper training of doctors so for the improvement of healthcare.
The new studies reveal medical advantages from the regular consumption of cannabis and marijuana. In Ethiopia the use of Cannabis is illegal and prohibited. It’s punished by six months imprisonment. Despite its illegalization our delegation doesn’t ignore its benefits for medicine. We maintain the point that if marijuana is presented in low percentages in a form of a medicine capsule, its use could become legal one day for specified cases. Why does not cannabis been legalized just as tramadol, brevital and other anesthetic drugs with some restrictions?
Last but not least, Ethiopia, with the aid of the WHO tried to eradicate malaria and HIV spread in the country first and then improve the global health care with big data and artificial intelligence. In the future, why not conceive robots for the medical field? And if the benefits of cannabis are confirmed, we may legalize their use. The delegate of Ethiopia calls all member states to collaborate with our delegation to come over together with effective resolutions.
