Program

Part I “Project Report on Health Policy & Technology Assessment Research and Training Program 2017-2021”

The research and education project on health policy and technology assessment (HPTA) was initiated in April 2017 in the Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP), University of Tokyo. The HPTA was designed to collaborate with the MHLW officers and the affiliated experts who have responsibility for a new policy of health technology assessment (HTA), which was provisionally introduced in 2016 and institutionalized in 2019. The first part of this symposium reports the achievement of the HPTA project reviewing the past six years from 2017 to 2022 and seeks future directions for Japan, learning global challenges from an European expert of HTA.
