This study is designed to offer an assessment on the current status of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) implementation of each AMS, as well as identify the challenges faces in operationalizing HTA due to capacity gaps and differing needs. This review further highlights opportunities to support and strengthen HTA institutions in ASEAN, particularly through capacity building activities which may later be undertaken at the regional level and conducted in collaboration with external partners.

This survey is an activity in the ASEAN Post2015 Health Development Agenda for 2016- 2020 under the work programme of ASEAN Health Cluster 3: Strengthening Health Systems and Access to Care led by the Philippines’ Department of Health in collaboration with the ASEAN Health Sector. This follow-up evaluation offers relevant findings while serving as a complement to the baseline study in 2019 led by Thailand on Country Assessment of HTA Capacity Gaps.
