Harnessing health economic evaluation for policy and practice - Communications Medicine
Teerawattananon et al. highlight that health economic evaluation can navigate the tension between rapid medical innovation and finite health system resources. Drawing on global evidence and HTAsiaLink network experience, they show how it can inform decisions across the health technology lifecycle, from innovation to reimbursement and disinvestment.

on data inputs for economic evaluations. The interactive format invited participants to share perspectives and experiences, helping link best-practice guidelines with local contexts to inform stronger policy decisions.
How can we ensure that patients with kidney failure receive life-saving care under Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and that policies are grounded in evidence? At today’s HTAsiaLink 2025 pre-conference, HITAP hosted the workshop “Addressing Kidney Failure under UHC: How to Conduct Economic Evaluation to Inform Policy” to explore this question. Facilitated by Khansa, the workshop guided participants through generating economic evidence for kidney replacement therapy in end-stage kidney disease—starting with Brandon on defining decision problems, Siobhan on selecting approaches and models, and Chotika on data inputs for economic evaluations. The interactive format invited participants to share perspectives and experiences, helping link best-practice guidelines with local contexts to inform stronger policy decisions.
