• This article offers reflections on the development and management of health technology assessment (HTA) in Taiwan, drawing from my experience as a former Minister of Health and Welfare. The article explores my original vision for HTA, progress made, challenges faced, and the lessons learned during my tenure. Key areas discussed include evidence-based decision-making, the need for a balanced decision-making system, challenges in value justification of an independent HTA organization, and recommendations for countries looking to establish their own HTA agencies.
