Primary Care & Internal Medicine

Primary care is where most people first meet the health system — adult acute and chronic care, prevention, and the medical home.
Why it matters
In the regions InBasket AI serves, the need is acute: noncommunicable diseases now cause about three-quarters of deaths worldwide, and 73% of NCD deaths are in low- and middle-income countries (WHO, 2025). Yet the WHO African Region has just ~1.55 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 people — far below the 4.45 the WHO considers necessary (WHO, 2022). Strengthening primary care is the highest-leverage response: WHO estimates scaling up primary health care across LMICs could save 60 million lives and add 3.7 years of life expectancy by 2030 (WHO, 2025).
InBasket AI keeps primary care on one continuous record so a small care team can work from a single, trustworthy source of truth — part of expanding access to care for the next billion people.
