Why is the CNESH List Important for Industry?
 Health Authorities rely on HTA to guide investment decisions.
 Health Authorities must invest where there are high unmet health needs.
 Innovation and Value.
 Choices must be made for all health technologies, not just drugs.
 Programs (CDR, pCODR, PCPA) are more advanced in drug therapy, but
decisions must span all health technologies.
 CNESH provides this broad perspective to both decision makers and
manufacturers.

development.
