La Haute Autorité de santé (HAS), mise en perspective internationale

Abstract

The international presence of the HAS constitutes a real strategic issue in the short, medium and long term, particularly in the areas of health technology assessment (HTA) and hospital certification. Its offer of international expertise can constitute a privileged instrument of French influence in areas that are becoming global, whether for the dissemination of French norms and standards and for the influence of our organizational model and our values. Finally, the presence of the HAS in European and international bodies, notably the World Health Organization (WHO), continues to strengthen, particularly in the European and community framework where its involvement is growing. The international and European involvement of the High Authority of Health (HAS) is an asset for the harmonization of health practices, particularly within the European Union. By actively participating in international and European networks, such as EUnetHTA, and by collaborating with the European Commission, HAS contributes to the evaluation of health technologies, the development of quality standards, and the development of common health policies. However, it faces challenges linked to the diversity of national health systems and the harmonization of practices between Member States. Nevertheless, its growing role in cross-border cooperation and sharing of expertise places it as a key player in the structuring of health policies in Europe.
