HTA Progress in Ukraine 2019–2021
Establishing a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) function in Ukraine has been a top priority to ensure evidence-based health care policy making and to help decision makers select health technologies that provide the best value for the health care system. The HTA Department was established under the State Expert Center in January 2019, and the CMU decree on HTA, which mandates HTA for all medicines under public coverage, was approved in December 2020. To celebrate the third anniversary of the integration of HTA into the Ukrainian health care system, the USAID Safe, Affordable, and Effective Medicines (SAFEMed) for Ukrainians Activity conducted interviews with a diverse group of stakeholders, and the analysis was shared in a roundtable on December 13, 2021. The highlights of findings from this analysis, which shows HTA progress in Ukraine in its first three years, are presented below.
