Introduction. Health technology assessment (HTA) is carried out to inform decision makers about the effectiveness and the need to cover it within the state budget. As a result, the quality of the prepared HTA reports is an important issue. The aim of our study is to examine the quality of HTA reports prepared in Kazakhstan. Methods. To study the quality of the HTA reports, we used an international checklist prepared by the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment. This checklist consists of 14 questions, the answers of which should be reflected in the HTA report. Two independent researchers analyzed reports for the period from 2017 to 2021. Results. It can be seen that the quality of HTA reports was improved over the period given. Reports which prepared from 2017 to 2019, did not fully include information on conflicts of interest, as well as the HTA report preparation process. However, from 2020, more detailed information in the HTA reports included. In addition, HTA reports most often focused on cost-effectiveness issues, while ethical, legal and social aspects were very rarely studied. Conclusion. Our analysis shows a positive trend in improving the quality of HTA reports. In the future the preparation of HTA reports need to take into account information relate to legal issues, as well as organizational, ethical and social aspects.
