All health systems face the challenge of managing and allocating limited resources for health. A Roadmap for Systematic Priority Setting and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) advocates the use of health technology assessment (HTA) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to determine the value of a health technology (e.g., a drug, medical device, diagnostic test, medical procedure) at different points in its lifecycle. The purpose is to inform decision making to promote an efficient and high-quality health system.

A Roadmap for Systematic Priority Setting and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) serves as a practical guide for policy action in LMICs to successfully implement HTA and paves the road to sustainable UHC and self-reliance. This roadmap will help countries institutionalize their mechanisms, processes, and institutions to better use evidence and data to inform their resource allocation decisions.
