HTA WORKSHOP AT THE JAWAHARLAL INSTITUTE OF POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (JIPMER)

The Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) has supported the development of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in India by building technical capacity and knowledge through collaborations with several academic institutions in India on HTA. HITAP recently partnered with the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Research (JIPMER), an Institute of National Importance (INI) and a tertiary care referral hospital under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India. Staff from JIPMER hold positions across national and state level decision-making bodies.

As one of the resource hubs for HTA in India (HTAIn) under the Department of Health Research (DHR) Government of India, JIPMER holds great power in incorporating HTA within the decisionmaking processes. In taking this mandate forward, the institution is keen on building its conceptual foundation in research methods for HTA as well as short and long-term institutional capacity in the understanding and conduct of these assessments.
