Anthropic partners with OpenEvidence to bring free medical AI to 100 countries
Anthropic and OpenEvidence are launching a free AI-powered clinical decision support tool across approximately 100 low- and middle-income countries. The initiative aims to provide healthcare workers in resource-strapped regions with access to medical knowledge comparable to that available to US clinicians. The partnership combines Anthropic’s AI models and infrastructure with OpenEvidence’s…
Key points
- Anthropic and OpenEvidence are rolling out free clinical AI to roughly 100 low- and middle-income countries.
- OpenEvidence logged 42 million consultations with US clinicians in August 2026, demonstrating the platform's scale.
- Pilots in Rwanda and Botswana involved 45 clinicians to adapt the tool for local resource constraints.
The rollout follows pilot programs in Rwanda and Botswana earlier in 2026, where 45 local clinicians tested the system. Their feedback helped shape the tool to account for local health conditions and resource availability, ensuring recommendations reflect actual on-the-ground constraints rather than just textbook standards. Target regions include Uganda, Angola, Sudan, Haiti, and Mongolia.
Anthropic President Daniela Amodei described the move as a shift toward inclusive healthcare, noting that the company is contributing its technology for free in markets that cannot afford enterprise software prices. OpenEvidence founder Daniel Nadler emphasized that access to medical knowledge should not depend on birthplace, highlighting the disparity where Sub-Saharan Africa carries roughly a quarter of the global disease burden while employing only about 3% of the world’s health workers.
