The HITAP International Unit

was established in late 2013 in response to the increasing responsibilities of working on international projects. The unit is a body established by Thailand’s Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) to collaborate with international partners and networks working to improve Health Intervention and Technology Assessment (HITA) for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and priority-setting capacity in low- and middle-income countries. The HIU draws upon the experiences of its experts to match the growing demand for evidence-informed policy at the global level. Under the HIU, dedicated professionals work and collaborate to provide our clients the means with which to build institutions dedicated towards establishing HTA and Priority Setting at the local, national and global levels through research, capacity building activities and knowledge products. In this effort, the HIU draws upon its experiences locally and internationally to work at the global level with overseas development aid, international organizations, non-profit organizations, and overseas governments to develop evidence-based priority setting practices globally.
