Speaker ICGW 2024 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wanrudee Isaranuwatchai

Main idea:
The importance of health equity and using health technology assessment to inform decisions.

Important points:

1. Despite widespread agreement on its importance, health inequity persists, as seen in COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
2. Health technology assessment can evaluate interventions based on effectiveness, efficiency, and equity.
3. New methods like distributional cost-effectiveness analysis can help identify interventions that are both cost-effective and improve equity.
