Global HTA
The use of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) continues to grow internationally. Whilst resources are finite in every setting, there is much diversity in the role and application of HTA.
The Global HTA programme critiques HTA in different contexts, exploring variation between high-income countries as well as looking in-depth as to how and why decision-making in healthcare may differ amongst low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Given the global reach of HTA, methodological implications are also considered with a particular focus on LMICs. The theme will draw upon HEHTA’s research from a global perspective, working in particular with major stakeholders including NICE International and the Gates Foundation as well as utilising staff members’ expertise in delivering training in HTA beyond the UK.
