  "abstract": "The implementation of evidence-based medicine (EBM) relies on organisations to identify, develop and apply evidence-based practices. While healthcare professionals often engage with service providers like hospitals and insurers for EBM implementation, they may be less familiar with organisations focused on the related fields of health technology assessment (HTA) and priority setting, which evaluate health technologies' properties and cost-effectiveness. Distinct from researchers developing primary research, those involved in HTA policy development shape governmental policies for assessing health technologies. Recognising the formation and growth of such organisations is crucial for practitioners, especially in countries with limited EBM adoption. Lessons from global experiences in establishing and operating these entities can aid those in low-income and middle-income nations.",
