Selecting the Highest Value Care took place on 8-9 January 2019 and saw over 80 policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers and academia come together to gain a better understanding of HTA through the use of lectures, case studies, group discussions and practical exercises. You can read more about the event here. (link to NUS and HIPER website write-ups on the event.)

In addition, a series of HTA seminars exploring the usefulness and limitations of using health economic evaluations in healthcare policy development was conducted from Jun to December 2018. An accumulated total of over 230 participants from NUS, restructured hospitals, the Ministry of Health, the Health Promotion Board and private industry attended the seminars. The seminars addressed topics such as decision analysis tools, cost-effectiveness thresholds and ethics in resource allocation. You can read more about the event here.
