On the Gates Foundation website, Ghanaian programmer Darlington Akogo talks about his mission to reduce the number of deaths in the West African nation, where there’s one doctor per 10,000 patients. His start-up, minoHealth AI Labs, helps doctors in Accra’s Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the largest in West Africa, accelerate medical results. He aims to create an open-source “digital doctor” to widen access to medical care to the country’s 35 million people.
