AWS commits $100m in AI, cloud support for healthcare

AWS, Amazon’s cloud computing arm, has launched the AWS Health Impact Initiative, a five-year, US$100 million program providing AI tools, agentic services, and cloud infrastructure to nonprofits, government agencies, research institutions, and companies developing health solutions for underserved communities worldwide.

Organizations can apply through their AWS account team or a public portal. Awardees receive credits based on estimated need or up to US$10,000 to get started. The credits are valid for 12 months and can be extended to 24 months.

AWS said the program will support healthcare projects, with added focus on access to care, women’s and children’s health, and nutrition.

The initiative builds on AWS’s earlier health programs, including the Health Equity Initiative, launched in 2021, which provided US$60 million in AI and cloud technology to more than 400 awardees.
