次の英文を読み、設問に答えなさい。

Recent advancements in medical technology have significantly improved the quality of healthcare around the world. One notable innovation is the development of robotic surgery systems. These systems allow surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision and less risk to patients. As a result, recovery times are shorter, and the chances of complications are reduced.

Another breakthrough is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics. AI-powered tools can analyze medical data, such as imaging scans and lab results, more quickly and accurately than human doctors in some cases. This has been especially beneficial in detecting diseases like cancer at earlier stages, where treatment is more effective.

However, the integration of technology in healthcare also raises concerns. One major issue is the high cost of advanced medical equipment, which can limit access for patients in low-income communities. Additionally, some worry about the ethical implications of relying heavily on AI for decision-making in medical settings. Balancing innovation with accessibility and ethics will be key to ensuring that these advancements benefit everyone.bal cooperation and innovation are essential to addressing the long-term effects of climate change.
