Abstract
Abstract: Health technology assessment (HTA) refers to the systematic evaluation of properties, effects, and/or impacts of health technology. It is a multidisciplinary process to evaluate the social, economic, organizational and ethical issues of a health intervention or health technology. The main purpose of conducting an assessment is to inform a policy decision making. The importance of Health Technology Assessment is to help in reducing the Out of Pocket expenditure on healthcare and nationalize the concept of healthcare. In India, HTA is not given the due importance that it actually deserves. HTA generally focusses on the clinical aspect of Health Technology, leaving the patient-related, economic aspect and organizational aspect unattended. This paper will emphasize the importance of HTA in India which will provide adequate health services to all.
