European Network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) is a network, established to create an effective and sustainable structure for health technology assessment (HTA) across Europe that could develop and implement practical tools to provide reliable, timely, transparent and transferable information to contribute to HTAs in Member States.
[1] The overall strategic objective of the network is to connect public national/regional HTA agencies, research institutions and health ministries, enabling an effective exchange of information and support to policy decisions by the Member States.
EUnetHTA consists of a total of 83 organisations from 27 EU member states plus Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the UK.
As part of the EUnetHTA governance structure, an annual Forum has been formed to ensure a transparent engagement with a broad range of stakeholders: representatives from patient and healthcare consumer organisations, healthcare providers, payers (statutory health insurance) and the industry.
To develop a voluntary, sustainable European Collaboration on HTA, the model focusses on supporting Members States in receiving HTA-relevant information that is objective, reliable, timely, and comparable.
