“…There is a good opportunity in LMICs, where capacity is needed, to design purpose-built systems (49,50). Recent publications have highlighted the important role of patient and public involvement in economic modelling for HTA in the United States (51)(52)(53). Patients and civil society can bring their experiential knowledge into model development and evaluation of the clinical safety and efficacy and the quality of the evidence as part of the economic assessment where more complete effectiveness is a prime target.…”

Understanding health as a human right creates a legal obligation on countries to ensure access to timely, acceptable, and affordable health care. We highlight the importance of a meaningful role for civil society in improving access to well-regulated quality medical products in Africa; to support and be part of a regional social contract approach following the access issues that have been particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that African communities have a clear participatory role as important stakeholders in the regulatory lifecycle. Solidarity is important for a cohesive approach as formal government healthcare infrastructure may be minimal for some countries, with little training of communities available for disease management and insufficient money to fund people to organise and deliver health care. Some of the issues for civil society engagement with multi-stakeholders, and possible mitigating strategies, are tabulated to initiate discussion on facilitators and concerns of governments and other stakeholders for meaningful participation by patients, communities and civil society within a regional regulatory lifecycle approach. Solidarity is called for to address issues of equity, ethics and morality, stigmatisation and mutual empowerment – to sustainably support the region and national governments to develop greater self-sufficiency throughout the regulatory lifecycle. By creating a participatory space, patients, communities and civil society can be invited in with clear missions and supported by well-defined guidance to create a true sense of solidarity and social cohesion. Strong leadership coupled with the political will to share responsibilities in all aspects of this work is key.

The aim of this study is to build an artificial intelligence chatbot application to support public health services. The chatbot acts as an information service that can replace the role of humans. The analysis of functional needs was obtained from information submitted by one of the heads of public health centers in Indonesia. This study uses the Scrum method with pregame stages to produce a plan consisting of functional and non-functional requirements analysis and conceptual design of the chatbot, which will be developed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams. The process of finding answers uses the matching graph master technique, which is a backtrack matching that utilizes a depth-first search strategy. There are 6 topics of chatbot services, including service schedules, health information, registration, diseases, drugs, and early care services for chatbot users. Tests conducted on these 6 topics showed an average correct answer ratio of 93.1% out of a total of 251 questions. The result of the usability measurement on the chatbot application that has been built obtained a system usability scale value of 80.1, indicating that the developed chatbots are acceptable for use.
