About the course -

As more low and middle-income countries (LMICs) commit themselves to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), it is timely to understand the current policy environment and implementation aspects of immunization programs as they relate to UHC policies in the LMICs.

This Health Technology Assessment (HTA) workshop aims to provide knowledge on the use of HTA methods and processes for policy development to support universal access to vaccinations and their contribution to UHC policies. This forum will serve as a platform for technical and policy exchange among stakeholders from both public and private sectors, and to learn from experienced experts working in universities, governments and World Health Organization.

This workshop is aimed at participants who are members of NITAGs, HTA agencies, Ministries of Health, EPI managers and others making decisions about vaccine introduction.
