Guidance on Health Policies

Guidance on health policies

We support and network governments in developing strategies and guidelines for the responsible selection and use of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. We also make an important contribution to improving access to high-quality, affordable essential medicines. We offer direct technical assistance and support in the selection and implementation of large projects such as hospitals and help to implement guidelines for pilot zones that take account of globalization and multinational healthcare enterprises.

Additionally in order to be able to advise organisations and government agencies on political and economic decisions regarding medical technologies, we carry out Health Technology Assessments in our work.  These relate to the systematic assessment of the effects and impacts of specific medical technologies and their characteristics.
