Bhutan is a rapidly growing economy that is transitioning from international donor support. As such, the country is looking for ways to ensure that they continue to provide the adequate services and support for their population in a rational and sustainable manner. Bhutan has begun using health tech

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and represents a significant global health concern. Infectious agents can be easily spread through respiratory droplets, and TB patients face a significant risk of mortality. The traditional sputum-based TB

Background Sputum-based diagnostic methods for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are challenging for patients who cannot produce sputum. Non-sputum-based approaches, such as tongue swab (TS), can address this gap. This study conducts an early Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of TS for PTB diagno

Thai Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Database was initially developed in 2008 and aimed to improve accessibility of HTA information. In this Phase II study, the database is extending the type of research articles. Consequently, 4 types of studies which are full economic evaluation, randomized controlled trial, quality of life and cost of illness

The project’s objective is to develop a database for health technology assessment in Thailand. The database includes research studies related to the Thai context published in either Thai or English. The research studies’ quality will be evaluated to provide readers with its advantages and disadvantages in order that researchers can make appropr

Because the quality of cost-effectiveness studies related to the Thai context is still limited, the Thai health technology assessment guidelines have been firstly developed in Thailand for researchers to stimulate the provision of standardized, reliable and good quality information which can be used by policy makers and healthcare personnel for mak

Although HITAP strictly follows national HTA methodological guidelines, questions over the good governance of research arose from a lack of formal process guidelines. Therefore, HITAP embarked on the development of HTA process guidelines in 2011. International guidelines were reviewed in order to develop a conceptual framework, with the aim of conn

Over the past two decades a notable progression has been made in relation to the capacity building of health technology assessment (HTA ) research and its policy utility in Thailand. Such developments have been shaped by multiple factors. This study aims to review 20 years experiences of an attempt to establish a  formal HTA system in Thailand, fo
