Assessment Tools
Assessment tools provide standardized, evidence-based methodologies for systematically evaluating pharmaceutical and health technology systems. These tools enable countries to establish baselines, identify gaps and weaknesses, measure progress over time, and compare performance across settings. WHO has developed a comprehensive suite of assessment tools that address different dimensions of the pharmaceutical and health technology landscape.
The table below contains various assessment tools, classified by programme area and function. In case you are searching for a specific assessment tool, you may use the interactive filters to search for keywords.
