A recent study in Nigeria evaluated the healthcare workforce's readiness for clinical adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While awareness of AI in healthcare was high among 761 professionals surveyed, objective knowledge and self-reported preparedness were limited. This suggests significant gaps in education and training are needed to effectively integrate AI technologies into clinical practice.

Why it matters

The successful integration of Artificial Intelligence into healthcare systems globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, hinges on workforce readiness. Limited knowledge and preparedness, despite high awareness, pose a significant barrier to leveraging AI's potential benefits for patient care and operational efficiency.

Key insights

  • Overall awareness of AI in healthcare among surveyed professionals in Nigeria was high (92.6%).
  • Objective knowledge regarding AI and self-reported preparedness for its clinical adoption were limited.
  • 40.9% of healthcare professionals reported low or very low knowledge concerning AI in healthcare.
  • The study was a cross-sectional evaluation involving 761 healthcare professionals across various disciplines and settings in Nigeria.
  • Data collection occurred between December 2025 and March 2026 using a structured, validated questionnaire.
