The HTAi Regional Meeting Brings Together Leading Thinkers To Advance the HTA Field Through Knowledge Production, Sharing, And Capacity Development
HTAi Regional Meeting Series
Overview
HTAi is dedicated to expanding our ability to mobilize and strengthen the global HTA community. We are committed to identifying the learning needs of HTA producers and users within the HTAi community, collaborating with teaching centers and academia, and partnering with governmental and non-governmental HTA bodies to develop necessary resources to support learning.
In 2021, the World Health Organization HTA Survey reported that 104 countries globally have a formal and deliberative approach to HTA. As one of the primary roles of HTAi is to advance the HTA field through knowledge production, sharing, and capacity development, HTAi founded the Regional Meeting Series to support the needs of our members in emerging HTA markets.
The HTAi Regional Meeting Series engages local hosts in regions with emerging HTA systems. All Regional Meetings are registration-based and open to all HTA stakeholders who produce or use HTA (or an adapted version of HTA) to systematically assess a test, device, medicine, vaccine, procedure, program, or system developed to prevent, diagnose, or treat medical conditions; promote health; provide rehabilitation; or organize healthcare delivery.
The HTAi Regional Meeting series encourages participation from all HTA stakeholders who would like to collaborate with interested parties who see value in developing and delivering educational content; discuss locally-relevant HTA topics to further promote the advancement of HTA in the region; and make a positive contribution to the HTA community.

Location
Kyiv, Ukraine
Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is a city with an long and proud history. The city stands on the Dnieper River, 951 km from its mouth in the Black Sea. The city was originally built on the high and steep western bank, which rises above the river in an imposing line of bluffs. This precipitous and wooded bank, topped by the golden domes and spires of churches and bell towers and by high-rise apartment buildings, makes the city an attractive and impressive sight from across the Dnieper. Since World War II, Kyiv has extended onto the wide, low, and flat floodplain on the eastern bank.
The city limits enclose an area of 780 square km on both banks of the Dnieper. It is divided into a number of administrative wards. The focus of Kyiv is the area of the ancient Upper Town, crowning the high bluffs of the Dnieper. Although largely of postwar construction, this central area retains its old street pattern, and most of the surviving historical and architectural monuments are located there.
Kyiv has a moderately continental climate. The average January temperature is −6 °C, and winter days with temperatures above freezing are not uncommon. Snow cover lies usually from mid-November to the end of March. Summers are warm, with a July average of 20 °C. The mean annual precipitation is 635 mm, with maximum rainfall in June and July.
