Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming diagnostics, clinical care, and medical education worldwide. However, low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan lag due to infrastructural, ethical, and educational gaps. T his editorial calls for curriculum reform, policy development, and responsible adoption to harness AI’s potential. Embracing AI is vital not only for advancing healthcare but also as a professional responsibility to shape its equitable future
