Abstract:
As part of a regional initiative to enhance epidemic preparedness, the Dominican Republic became one of 16 national hubs in the Artificial Intelligence for Pandemic and Epidemic Preparedness and Response Network. This article outlines the early steps taken to introduce responsible artificial intelligence into public health practice by developing local capacity, predictive surveillance tools and ethical governance strategies. Drawing on implementation experiences within the country's health institutions and communities, this article highlights practical lessons and operational insights. These findings support broader discussions on equity-focused digital innovation and provide a replicable model for low- and middle-income countries seeking to strengthen their readiness for future health threats.
