Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping global healthcare systems by offering innovative solutions to improve diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment planning, and enhance public health management. This article provides a structured perspective on the role of international partnerships in accelerating the adoption of AI-driven healthcare, with a focus on advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). Drawing on representative global initiatives, the paper explores best practices in technology transfer, ethical data sharing, and capacity building-key enablers for inclusive and equitable AI healthcare adoption. It further analyzes common challenges such as digital infrastructure gaps, regulatory fragmentation, and global inequities in data and talent. Through a synthesis of recent collaborations and policy frameworks, this article offers actionable insights for fostering global alliances that bridge innovation with healthcare accessibility.
