HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
The Centre for Health Technology Assessment and Drug Research (CHAD) of AIBILI focus is on evaluation of medicines and other medicinal products for market access purposes, aiming at financing and reimbursement and pharmacovigilance.
CHAD provides scientific information to support the decision making in healthcare policy and practice. Health Technology Assessment studies are necessary to ensure equity in the access to medicines and the most favourable benefit/risk and cost/effectiveness ratios in the drug use process. It is, therefore, of capital importance in both drug reimbursement decisions at both ambulatory and hospital settings.
CHAD is also a qualified resource to work closely with Pharmaceutical Industry in all the different phases of drug development.
CHAD provides pharmacovigilance services necessary in clinical studies.
