HITAP has been invited by the Ministry of Health, Indonesia to support local scholars in conducting 4 HTA studies. Indonesia is making steady progress in UHC, i.e. access to health services by all citizens without incurring financial hardship, making it even more important for undertaking evidence-informed decision making to ensure efficient allocation of resources and health systems management. HITAP’s experience in conducting and incorporating HTA for use in decision-making in South East Asia Region (along with its iDSI partners) will be shared in this three-day interaction with our collaborators from: Centre for Healthcare Financing under the Ministry of Health; the Healthcare Social Security Agency or the BPJS; the University of Indonesia; the Gadjah Mada University; members of the Health Technology Assessment Committee (HTAC); and, international partners such as PATH. HITAP aims to help the local research teams finalize four proposals of HTAs that will be conducted to improve Indonesia’s pharmaceutical reimbursement list.
