News

International Scientific-Practical Conference Was Organized by the ISPOR Belarus Chapter

ISPOR Belarus Chapter organized and conducted an International Scientific-Practical Conference, "Health Technology Assessment in National Healthcare System."

June , 2015 in Minsk, has been held International scientific-practical conference "Health Technology Assessment in National Healthcare System" (Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Minsk, ul. P. Brovka 3, Bldg. 3).

The event was organized by the ISPOR Belarus Chapter in coordination with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus and the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers with the participation of the ISPOR.

The issue discussed has been relevant since its inception - from the mid-60s of the last century - and reflects the general pattern that has developed in global health - increasing expenditure growth. Given the fact that 2/3 of the cost in healthcare accounts for medicinal technology, understanding the importance of the development of health technology assessment (HTA) for practical public health is particularly important.

Background

Rising healthcare costs and increasing the share of health budget expenditures due to the development of new medical technologies and increasing their value was the starting point for research in the field of health technology assessment that served as a stimulus to the creation of national agencies for HTA and implementation of science-based, effective, innovative technology medical technologies.
