65 days to go until January 12, 2025

As we reflect on Tuesday’s seventh and final regional meeting organised by the European Commission (EC), From Theory to Practice: implementing the EU Health Technology Assessment Regulation (HTAR) in Paris, we recall that participants were looking for clarity and (practical) information. With representatives from the HAS, G-BA and IQWIG as well as the HTA coordination group (HTACG) and its subgroups, expectations for answers were high. In addition, the panel sessions included a range of stakeholders including clinical experts, patient advocacy groups (PAGs) as well as the industry organisations EFPIA and MedTech Europe were all represented. While representatives of national HTA bodies, feel ready for the implementation on 12 January 2025, health technology developers (HTDs), patient organisations and clinical expert organisations acknowledge that there are still some remaining steps to be taken (e.g. finalisation of implementing acts and guidance documents).
