Description

Jorgelina Alvarez, Cristina Gatica, and Rodolfo Montero describe the birth of a health technology assessment agency in Mendoza, Argentina, in a 2025 report. Such agencies judge whether new health tools are worth their cost. Access to care in the region is uneven, and wise spending matters.

The agency grew from a local committee and talks with funders and providers. A 2024 law made it a free standing body with its own budget and a mixed expert team. Its rulings bind public care and the province's social security funders, and its reports are posted in public. The authors call it a first for Argentina and a model for others.
