Topic nomination
Topic nomination refers to the process of referring topics to HTAC for which technology appraisals may be produced and disseminated for the guidance of policy-makers, health providers and patients. For more details, view the Philippine HTA Process Guide here: Philippine HTA Process Guide.
Existing health technologies refer to those which are currently covered by DOH or PhilHealth. New health technologies are those that are not yet covered by DOH or PhilHealth.
