Live Webinar on Dec 4! Cut Through the AI Noise: A Framework for Canadian Clinicians. Register now
HTA2: Advancing HTA Expertise in Saudi Arabia Forum is a 5-month applied training program that builds on HTA1 and takes participants from theory to practice. Through virtual workshops series, online simulations, and a live capstone summit in Riyadh, delegates learn how to develop, evaluate, and present HTA dossiers that align with MOH, SFDA, and CNHI priorities and support Vision 2030 health system goals.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
Please fill out the registration form to register for all modules of the HTA2 event. Kindly note that the registration is guaranteed for Module 1 only. Registration for the rest of the program is subject to participation criteria and post-Module 1 knowledge check.
This introductory session provides a short refresh of key Wave 1 concepts, followed by a focused workshop on effective communication and dossier writing. Participants will learn how to present evidence clearly, structure dossier components, and align communication with KSA HTA expectations before moving into the more technical modules that follow
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

This module introduces participants to the strategic use of data when planning and developing an HTA submission. Building on the communication and writing foundations from Workshop 0, this session focuses on how to identify, select, and frame the evidence needed for a strong, KSA-aligned dossier. Participants will learn how to determine the right data sources, anticipate payer and evaluator expectations, and create a coherent data plan that supports later modules on budget impact, value narrative, and evaluation.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
In this module, participants learn how to translate evidence into a clear, Saudi-specific Budget Impact Analysis (BIA) — a core component of any HTA submission. Building directly on the data planning work from Module 2, this session teaches delegates how to select the right assumptions, structure a transparent model, and apply local epidemiology and cost inputs. The goal is to equip participants with the skills needed to produce decision-relevant BIAs that support payer alignment, pricing discussions, and later stages of dossier development
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Module 4 teaches participants how to craft a clear and persuasive value narrative that connects clinical evidence, economic findings, and local system priorities. Building on the BIA developed in Module 3 and the evidence planning from Module 2, this session focuses on how to communicate value in a way that aligns with the needs of SFDA, MOH, CNHI, and other decision makers. Participants learn how to frame benefits, address uncertainties, and present a coherent story that strengthens the overall dossier.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Module 5 brings together everything participants have built so far. This session focuses on how to assemble a complete, submission-ready HTA dossier that aligns with the requirements and expectations of SFDA, MOH, and CNHI. Participants learn how to structure content, integrate evidence from previous modules, and present their case in a way that is clear, consistent, and evaluation friendly. The goal is to prepare delegates for the capstone dossier build and for the evaluation-focused work that follows in Module 6.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Module 6 shifts participants into the role of the evaluator. This session teaches delegates how HTA reviewers in KSA assess dossiers, apply scoring criteria, and identify strengths and weaknesses in submissions. By examining dossiers through an evaluation lens, participants gain a deeper understanding of what decision makers look for, how evidence is weighed, and what can influence pricing and reimbursement outcomes. This module also prepares participants for the Capstone phase, where they will critique and defend dossiers in a format similar to real SFDA review sessions.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Module 7 allows participants to apply everything they have learned in a guided, hands-on simulation environment. Delegates practice building, reviewing, and refining dossier components using Saudi relevant scenarios and evaluation tools. This simulation bridges the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application and prepares participants for the live Capstone where they will present and critique full dossiers.
By the end of the simulation phase, participants will be able to:
The Capstone Summit is the culminating experience of HTA2. During this one-day live event, participants present their completed HTA dossiers, engage in structured critiques, and experience a review environment similar to an SFDA or MOH evaluation meeting. Delegates receive feedback from faculty, peers, and decision makers aligned reviewers and gain insight into how submissions are interpreted, questioned, and strengthened. This session brings together all elements of the curriculum and marks the transition from learning to applied HTA practice.
By the end of the Capstone Summit, participants will be able to:
