APAC’s HTA adoption to grow amidst infrastructure, talent challenges

Key markets include Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia.

The use of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is expanding across the Asia-Pacific as markets seek to modernise their healthcare systems, according to a BMI report.

Regulators in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia are amongst those updating legislation and policy frameworks to incorporate the assessment.

However, a lack of infrastructure and specialised talent pose notable challenges to HTA improvements in developing markets.

“For instance, in Indonesia, a primary challenge is the lack of a robust HTA infrastructure, which includes the absence of comprehensive local data on costs, clinical information and health outcomes,” the report said.

Inadequate funding further hinders the development of this infrastructure, restricting the capacity for research and the acquisition of essential data.

Moreover, investment in advanced tools and technologies needed for effective HTA remains limited due to financial constraints.
