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.
