In this episode, we look at how Artificial Intelligence is being used to improve stem cell donor matching and transplantation – a process that can be time-consuming and even life-threatening if delayed. For people in rural areas or without access to private healthcare, this kind of innovation could change everything. 

Zama Moni chats to Jane Ward, Deputy Director of the South African Bone Marrow Registry, about how AI can speed up donor matching, the benefits for patients, and the real challenges around ethics, funding, and rollout in South Africa. It’s a conversation about science, access, and how technology could help close the healthcare gap.
