Despite these obstacles, LLMs possess unparalleled analytic prowess to inform evidence-based health care policies and clinical practices. Addressing these challenges necessitates the formulation of robust ethical frameworks, bias mitigation strategies, and educational initiatives to ensure equitable access to health care resources globally.
