Young Professionals “Jumpstart” Initiative: duration 12 months

Health policy priority setting is a key focus for SAFEMed and encompasses the development of HTA capability in Ukraine along with the governance and institutional structures required to operationalize the concept. While many countries have adopted HTA, there are many variations in HTA implementation across Europe, which means that the HTA roadmap should be specific to the context of Ukraine.

Following the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine’s approval of the HTA Procedure in December 2020, institutionalization of HTA gained further momentum in Ukraine. The SAFEMed Project will continue to support capacity building around HTA, creation of a positive list of medicines through public funds, supporting decisionmaking through evidence summaries and protocols and bringing in stakeholders together to facilitate discussions around best implementation models for local context based on international practices. Creation of the HTA independent Agency and implementation of the Roadmap towards it will be key major activities in the upcoming year.
