The Evidence for AI in Health (EVAH) initiative is a $60 million joint commitment from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Novo Nordisk Foundation, and Wellcome Trust, announced at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi in February 2026.
EVAH funds locally-led evaluations of AI health tools in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, with the goal of generating high-quality real-world evidence on the clinical, equity, and economic impacts of AI-enabled diagnostics, decision support, triage, screening, and population health tools in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) health systems.
The initiative emphasizes researcher leadership from LMICs themselves, capacity-building for local evaluation infrastructure, and producing evidence that informs procurement, regulation, and scale-up decisions by ministries of health and global health funders. EVAH addresses a critical gap: rapid AI tool deployment in LMIC settings without rigorous evidence on safety, effectiveness, and equity.

Gates committed $540.2 million over a decade to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation — the largest gift in University of Washington history — while IHME's federal grant income falls from $7.3 million to a projected $4.8 million. The gift is a case study in the anchor-funder model: what it can do that federal money cannot, and the concentration risk it quietly underwrites.

As the Buffett–Gates era winds down, this new class of megadonor is rewriting the rules of major giving.

Read articleOn July 14, 2026, Warren Buffett routed his roughly $6 billion annual Berkshire gift to four family foundations and excluded the Gates Foundation — the first exclusion since 2006, pending a review of the foundation's historical ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett has given the Gates Foundation more than $43 billion over two decades. Here is why the pause matters for the world's largest grantmaker, what it reveals about concentration risk in modern philanthropy, and what nonprofits that depend on a single major funder should do now.
