Amazon (AMZN) is giving away $40 million in credits for its Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform to help address health care inequities. The goal is to reach populations around the world with limited access to health services and to analyze data from underrepresented groups to better understand how inequality affects people’s health.
“What we’ve seen over the past 18 months is customers, researchers, all working diligently to solve the COVID-19 pandemic, and now we’ve got the opportunity on the other side of this to address some of the other fundamental things, the inequities, that we discovered that the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare,” Max Peterson, VP of AWS worldwide public sector, told Yahoo Finance Live on Monday.
