Three main forces have driven the development of HTA; rising healthcare demands and expectations, scarcity of resources, and increasing entry of new technologies to the healthcare market. With a commitment to Universal Health Coverage (UHC), decisions on allocations considering cost-effectiveness is crucial. Objectives: To evaluate the global evidence on the process, outcome and importance of HTA and evidence-based decision making in health policymaking and the potential way forward in Sri Lanka Methods: A narrative review on HTA and policy making was undertaken using the databases Medline, Embase, Biomed- central, Science Direct, Web of Science. Useful websites, reports were looked up. The search was conducted during July- December 2019. The search strategy for scientific literature consisted of free text and MeSH terms related to keywords, namely, HTA, evidence-informed decision making, HTA-report and health policy. For the SWOT analysis and the way forward, literature review and expert opinion were obtained. Results: HTA studies the medical, social, ethical, and economic implications of development and use of health-technology and guides the healthcare system in evidence-based decision making that is patient-centred and achieves the highest value for money.

Overseas Medical Treatment of Sri Lankan Medical Travellers. Recent Adv Biol Med. 2021; 7(1): 1-5. Article ID: 1234879. DOI: 10.18639/RABM.2021.1234879 ABSTRACT More and more Sri Lankans reach for overseas medical treatment with the raising standards of living in the country. However, it is largely an unexplored area. Economic burden of overseas medical treatment is largely an out-of-the-pocket expenditure. Considering the economic burden and low health insurance penetration among Sri Lankans, healthcare decision-makers should explore the clinical dynamics of this subset of patients to improve the services within the country. The study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and cost of medical treatment by medical travellers for treatment overseas. A descriptive study was carried out by a team of experts analyzing the data of estimated overseas medical expenditure recorded at the President Fund, a body established to assist Sri Lankans who need financial assistance for the said purpose. The team studied the deidentified databases for 2018 and 2019.
