Dear all, This is to announce a new forum of HTA for developing countries. This forum was launched shortly after the International Society for Technology Assessment in Health Care (ISTAHC2002) conference in Berlin, where some of the ISTAHC members expressed there is a need for more targeted activity towards HTA in developing countries. The forum is open to all people who are interested in its merits, especially researchers and clinicians. From HTA-DC Group webpage: " ... With the aim of eliciting a debate involving leading world experts in the field and HTA professionals from developing and transitional countries, a group of interested people have decided to join hands and develop this forum (HTA-DC). The idea is to exchange experiences and to better understand country needs, priorities, challenges and opportunities; thus help shaping the opinion for fostering the use of HTA. The network could also be used as a forum to seek advice, assistance and information on areas related to HTA." You may join this forum by sending an email to [log in to unmask] including your name, job title and organisation.
