#7  Democratizing Health Technology Assessments: Access and impact - with Luba, Yanga & Shelley

Loading player...
Join Lubalethu Dube at Foresight Dialogues 2024 as we celebrate a decade of impact and dive into a vital conversation with Yanga and Shelly-Ann. In this episode of In Focus, we unpack the role of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in shaping the future of South Africa’s healthcare system.

From defining what health economics really means to exploring how HTA can reduce resource duplication and improve access to life-saving innovations, this conversation highlights the urgent need for a more unified and evidence-based approach to funding healthcare technologies.

We also explore the vision of an independent HTA exchange, the challenges smaller funders face, and the ambition to bring transparency, equity, and efficiency into decision-making across the public and private sectors.
