Funded Activity Summary

Governments internationally are increasingly concerned with how best to allocate their limited health budgets, particularly when it comes to funding ever-more expensive pharmaceuticals and medical devices as well as expensive health service reforms and public health interventions. To make these decisions, they conduct and use “health technology assessments”. This program of research will examine the ethics and politics of HTA in order to align HTA and health policy with the values and health needs of the Australian population.
