Abstract

Essential national health research (ENHR) ensures that health research will be undertaken in priority areas defined by the people and will be used in decision making. Needs-based technology assessment (NBTA) is anchored on the ENHR philosophy. Two case studies are presented, one illustrating a successful application of NBTA and the other a failed approach. Reasons for the difference in success are examined.
