To provide an overview of the development of health technology assessment (HTA) in Iran since 2007, and to facilitate further development of HTA and its integration into policy making.
Data of this study were collected through key documents (e.g. literature, laws, and other official documentation) and analyzed by experts of opinion in form of qualitative methods.
Health technology assessment entered to the political agenda in Iran only in 2007 with a strong impetus of an evidence-based medicine movement with the bellow objectives: Institutionalization of evidence-based decision making in Ministry of Health, Creating an localization for structural HTA in Health system of Iran, Setting up training courses in order to educate capable manpower to full up the capacity of the universities, Establishment of a new field in HTA subject in medical universities for MSc and PhD degree, International communication about HTA through national website and possible participation in international Congress.
HTA has been established in the healthcare system of Iran but what is needed is a clear political will to push forward the objectives of HTA in Iran. Similar to other countries, advance the regulation on the adoption of new health technologies to improve not only technical or allocate efficiency, but also health equity.
概述2007年以来伊朗卫生技术评估（HTA）的发展情况，并推动HTA的进一步发展及其融入政策制定过程。
本研究数据通过关键文件（如文献、法律及其他官方文件）收集，并由专家以定性方法进行分析。
2007年，在循证医学运动的强大推动下，卫生技术评估才进入伊朗的政治议程，其目标如下：在卫生部将循证决策制度化；在伊朗卫生系统中为结构性HTA打造本土化；开设培训课程以培养有能力的人才，充实大学的能力；在医科大学的HTA学科中设立硕士和博士学位的新领域；通过国家网站进行关于HTA的国际交流，并可能参与国际大会。
HTA已在伊朗医疗体系中确立，但需要明确的政治意愿来推进伊朗HTA的目标。与其他国家一样，完善新卫生技术采用的监管，不仅要提高技术或分配效率，还要促进卫生公平。
