Abstract

India has intensified efforts towards Universal Health Coverage. To achieve this goal, it is important to spend the resources on cost-effective healthcare interventions. Economic evaluations and Health Technology Assessments are important tools to ensure the efficient use of resources. India has made significant progress in this direction, especially with the establishment of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) - India. Further capacity-building and strengthening of HTA is required to ensure the implementation of evidence-based cost-effective interventions in the health sector.
