"I've been interested in the topic of health care rationing for a long time," explains Olga Löblová (PhD '16). It was that interest that led her to take a closer look at health technology assessment (HTA) agencies. "HTA agencies are public bodies that evaluate available evidence on the medical, economic, ethical, legal, social, and other aspects of health interventions – drugs, medical devices, diagnostic procedures, surgical interventions, etc.," Löblová explains.
