Description
Santiago Hasdeu and co-authors survey how health technology assessment in the Americas handles equity, published in 2025. Reducing inequality is a core goal of health systems, and the Americas are the most unequal region in the world. Yet until recently, equity was not part of standard assessment reports from major agencies.
The team surveyed member institutions of a regional assessment network and a pan-American health body. Replies came from technical staff in many institutions across fourteen countries. Nearly all respondents rated the impact on equity as important. The survey asked which bodies address equity, how trained staff feel, and for positive examples. A scoping review of world methods on equity in assessment was run alongside the survey.
