Market Access and HTA - a snapshot of recent developments....
9 FEB 2024

What happened that surprised you over these months?

I was definitely surprised by the announcement regarding the establishment of the Canadian Drug Agency (CDA) to replace the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). In the announcement there was a big focus on the increasing use of real-world data collection across Canada to improve decision making, so it will be interesting to see how this is done in the future. It perhaps reflects a Canadian view to utilize health technology management (i.e., dynamic rather than static HTA).

"The UK’s Innovative Medicine’s Fund and France’s Direct Access Scheme there appears to be a global aim to improve access to medicines and promote innovation which should be seen as a positive sign for the pharmaceutical industry"
