About the Theme
Universal health coverage (UHC) is not only to be made available but also sustainable and every country is now thinking about how to make both happen. Health technology assessment (HTA) is one of the helping tools, which is increasingly used in both resource-rich and poor settings.
But there are many factors to consider when using HTA, so exchanging experience and learning from other countries can be very useful.
About the Programme
This programme is designed for senior policy-makers and HTA researchers who would like to know more how to make HTA work better to enhance UHC in their countries. The policy-makers and the researchers will be paired to work together not only during the programme period, but also long-term post-programme.
The attendance to this programme is by invitation only.
