Health technology assessment in Jordan: current landscape, challenges, and future roadmap.
Review in Journal of pharmaceutical policy and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is increasingly recognised as an essential tool for directing decisions on health policy, particularly those concerning coverage, reimbursement, price and value, especially in nations aiming for Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Jordan is a middle-income country with limited resources for the health sector and rising needs; thus, despite its significant progress toward institutionalising HTA, there are still many gaps. Objectives: To assess the present situation of HTA in Jordan, pinpoint the main facilitators and obstacles, and suggest a plan for enhancing HTA at Jordan University Hospital so that it can more methodically influence Jordanian health policy. Methods: Stakeholder studies, policy documents and published literature on HTA were reviewed, along with lessons learned from similar contexts. Results: Jordan's progress in HTA has been noteworthy. The Jordan Food and Drug Administration has specific requirements for pharmacoeconomic data in pricing and reimbursement, for instance, and university programs are providing capacity building. Other pioneers include the Ministry of Health, Royal Medical Services and the King Hussein Cancer Center's Centre for Drug Policy and Technology Assessment (KHCC CDPTA). However, funding for HTA is unstable, transparency and stakeholder engagement are uneven, institutional roles are fragmented, there is no national HTA methodological guideline or comprehensive, mandated legal framework, and data infrastructure (especially local cost, outcomes and real-world evidence) is limited. Conclusions: A strategic plan is required for all institutions to achieve the potential benefits of HTA in Jordan, including more equitable access, better prioritisation, more efficient spending and contributions to UHC. Formalising legal requirements, creating national methodological guidelines, enhancing institutional and human capacity, enhancing data systems, obtaining long-term funding, establishing precise decision criteria and thresholds and boosting transparency and stakeholder participation are important stages.
