Delegates from China’s National Healthcare Security Administration visit McMaster University
HEI’s Feng Xie hosted a delegation of senior policymakers led by Deputy Administrator Madame Tao Li from China’s National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA)
A newly established administration, the NHSA makes coverage policies for drugs and non-drug technologies for China. It is tasked with making challenging decisions, with limited funds, related to health care coverage for China’s 1.3 billion people. Dr. Xie discussed how economic evaluation and health technology assessment (HTA) have been used to inform coverage policy-making in Canada and explored potential approaches and associated challenges in conducting and using HTA in China.
