HITA becomes an increasingly important part of priority setting and decision-making process in resource-limited settings. It is particularly in the form of primary research and evidence synthesis. According to the 67th World Health Assembly, HITA is recognized as a tool in support of universal health coverage (UHC) to inform policy decision.
