EDPs in United Arab Emirates

We support Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health in the development and implementation of a roadmap for HTA, using EDPs. This roadmap, which was based on a situational analysis and developed in consultation with local policymakers, healthcare providers, payers, product makers and research institutions, was formally adopted at the end of 2022. It pays particular attention to creating appropriate structures and processes and to strengthening local capacity for improved and timely decision making regarding health insurance coverage. Financial support is being provided by Roche.

Research Research groups

Where experience meets talent

By working in groups, we accelerate the development of knowledge and its implementation. Each group is led by an experienced group leader, who ensures the direction, focus and sustainable development of the group and the well-being and professional development of its members. The specialized knowledge is applied in one or more research programs.
