EU Deliberates Joint Health Technology Assessments

September 28, 2016

The EU is considering adopting an EU-wide health technology assessment model for drugs and devices.

Although the European Commission signs off on what products can be placed on the market, the pathway to market access is dictated by individual member states via health technology assessments to determine the clinical and economic value of a given product.

A network of national authorities was established in 2013, and while participation is voluntary, member states have willingly participated and indicated strong interest in moving toward an EU-wide HTA system. — Tamra Sami
