In preparation for the 2023 implementation of Health Technology Assessment (HTA), a workshop was held on December 7-9, 2022 in Pampanga to discuss the 2022 best practices, gaps, challenges, and lessons learned, as well as the 2023 operational plans of the HTA Division and HTA Council.

Prior to the workshop proper, the HTA Division had a breakout session discussing the identified workstreams last 24 November 2022 in Oracle Hotel and Residences, Quezon City. Outputs from the Stocktaking and Operational Planning for the 2023 Workshop were submitted to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for their alignment to aid in the transition of the HTA Division and HTA Council to DOST next year.

More details on the accomplishments and ways forward will be shared through the HTA Philippines annual report to be released in January 2023.

The HTAD continues to participate in capacity-building activities that can further its service to its stakeholders.
