Abstract
Abstract Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is essential for evidence-based healthcare decision-making, yet its integration into Iran's healthcare system faces political and logistical challenges. Despite HTA's potential to improve resource allocation, limited awareness, data gaps, and competing priorities hinder its implementation. This commentary emphasizes the need for political support, advocating capacity-building, collaboration, and alignment with long-term health policies. Leveraging international partnerships and monitoring outcomes can enhance HTA's role in improving healthcare in Iran and contributing to global health advancements. Keywords: Evidence-based decision-making; Health policy; Health technology assessment; Healthcare system; Iran; Political support.
