Good Health and Wellbeing

Since the launch of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, major progress has been made to improve human health and wellbeing across the world: reducing maternal mortality rates, extending life expectancy, fighting communicable diseases, and increasing access to universal healthcare. Despite these impressive advances, progress needs to continue to accelerate in order to meet the ambitious third Global Goal from the United Nations: to ensure healthy lives and wellbeing for all, at all ages, by 2030. So how can F1000Research help?

F1000Research is the perfect publishing venue for your research across all aspects of medicine and human health, including epidemiology, pharmacology,  and healthcare policy and practice. Our rapid publication model offers an innovative alternative to traditional journals publishing and enables a rapid and transparent dissemination of robust research. All articles on F1000Research are published openly, ready to be read, cited and used by anyone, anywhere. Plus, all articles undergo rigorous, transparent, post-publication peer review, with expert reviews freely available for anyone to read.

Combined with our progressive Open Data Policy, this unique publication model makes F1000Research the ideal home for research with the potential to make a real impact on human health and wellbeing.

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) provides a global, structured approach to synthesizing evidence for cost and clinical effectiveness to inform evidence-based priorities. India has recently committed to institutionalizing HTA in their health resource allocation decision-making process, but effective HTA requires reliable data. This study identifies and assesses publicly available data sources to inform the HTA process in India.
