General HTA Track
Note: This is to inform all key stakeholders that the topic nominations under the General Health Technology Assessment (HTA) track for 2025 remain open exclusively to the Department of Health (DOH) and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth). This move is to streamline efforts among the HTA Council, DOH, and PhilHealth in topic identification.
The following is the latest HTA Topic Nomination and Prioritization Guidelines released in 31 August 2023.
The guidelines contain these 3 sections, namely: (1) Topic Nomination; (2) Topic Prioritization; and (3) Overall timelines for the Topic Nomination and Prioritization. You may access the guidelines through this link: 2023NomPrioGuidelines
You may download the Nomination forms from the file links in the table below:
We gently remind our stakeholders that HTA Philippines will not process incomplete or late submissions.
Minor Inclusion to the Philippine National Formulary (PNF)
Per DOH Department Circular 2022-0254* and Department Circular 2022-0584*, the Minor inclusion track is applicable for drugs that are currently listed in the PNF, but are being applied for: change in or additional strength; packaging; net content; pack size/volume; and any other change that will not result in a significant difference in terms of bioavailability and meaningful clinical outcomes with the PNF-listed drugs.
This process track is open year-round and stakeholders may nominate/apply for drugs for minor inclusion given that they are already listed in the PNF. Kindly note, however, that all submissions shall be completed and submitted to the HTA Division within 14 working days after acknowledgement and validation of the requirements submitted. Please be advised that late and incomplete submissions will not be processed.
