Visions for INAHTA

INAHTA should: 

  • Set the standard for best practice in HTA as an input to decision making
  • Continue to develop authoritative advice on HTA issues through joint projects
  • Offer mentoring to emerging HTA programs in areas where local expertise is limited
  • Broaden exchange of information and explore collaboration with other organizations, eg, WHO
  • Seek to increase the level of contact between its members throughout the year.
