Health Technology Assessment to Encourage Affordable Healthcare in India

 India will introduce Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to improve affordability and accessibility of healthcare services. The move would assess the benefits and cost of medical technologies in order to recommend only the best treatments.

By facilitating evidence-based decision-making, HTA is likely to lower the cost of healthcare and enhance the outcomes of patients. This step is in line with India's overall strategy of enhancing its healthcare system and offering quality services to its large population.
