He was born in Kristiania as a son of assisting secretary Jens Ingolf Evang (1873–1914) and Anna Beate Wexelsen (1875–1954).
Karl Evang (19 October 1902 – 3 January 1981) was a Norwegian physician and civil servant.
Karl Evang met physician Gerda S. Landmark Moe (1905–1985) in 1926, and married her in 1929.
He enrolled in medicine studies at the Royal Frederick University in 1924, and became a member of the revolutionary group Mot Dag in 1926 which had a strong standing among students.
Mot Dag was affiliated with the Communist Party of Norway at the time, but soon became independent.
Evang was also active in the Norwegian Support Committee for Spain and Clarté.
In the 1930s he became a noted public debater.
He was elected chairman of the Norwegian Students' Society in 1931, while serving a prison sentence for conscientious objection.

He spent the war years organizing a health administration for Norwegians abroad, spending time in the USA as well.
After the war he co-founded the World Health Organization; he was also board chairman for some time.
His position was strengthened after the war, and Evang signalized technocratic ambitions.
Similarly, the health conditions in Norway improved in the post-war years.
Poliomyelitis was eradicated and tuberculosis diminished.
However, several welfare programs were implemented long after Evang's initiatives.
He also had political ambitions (Minister of Social Affairs, probably also Prime Minister) that were never fulfilled.

In 1973 he joined the Socialist Electoral League.
He released the book Helse og Samfunn, an overview of the contemporary health sector.
