Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has announced a partnership with Google to hand significant control of the country's public healthcare system to an artificial intelligence platform. Under the plan, citizens will be able to download an app called Dr. SV, which will create individual medical records, assess symptoms, schedule virtual or in-person consultations, and monitor patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The announcement has drawn scrutiny given that the government dismissed roughly 7,700 health workers last year, and critics have raised concerns about patient data privacy, as the seven-year agreement — valued at at least $500 million — gives Google access to Salvadorans' personal health information.
