Visions for INAHTA

Rapid development of new technologies in health care and the overwhelming production of new scientific articles create an urgent need for international collaboration. INAHTA must offer forums to promote international collaboration, focusing on comparative, high-quality health technology assessments. It is also essential for INAHTA to show the benefits and impacts of HTAs for policy makers around the world. The ultimate objective of HTA is to improve health and quality of life for the population.
