HITAP, the Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program, is a research organization established in 2007 under the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand. HITAP's main mission is to study the positive and negative impacts of health technology and policies, presenting the data to inform public policy decisions. They work internationally, assisting developing countries in evaluating their health technologies independently.

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is crucial in evaluating the impact of technologies and policies on health, economics, society, and ethics. Through efficient and transparent research protocols, HITAP aims to ensure informed decision-making in resource allocation and investment in healthcare systems.

With a focus on promoting accessible and appropriate health technologies, HITAP develops quality standards, cost databases, and tools for assessing technology effectiveness. Their ultimate goal is to provide evidence-based information to policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public, facilitating informed decision-making in healthcare policy and management.
