Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health

Welcome to the 20th Anniversary micro-site of the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health.

We have made quite a journey since 1989, CADTH—originally CCOHTA, the Canadian Coordinating Office for Health Technology Assessment—began disseminating information on health technologies. Over the past two decades and particularly in the last 10 years, we have broadened our role, multiplied our programs and deepened our expertise.

Today, health decision makers across the country look to CADTH for impartial, reliable information about drugs and health technologies.

We are proud of the trust placed in us. We work diligently to live up to that trust —maintaining rigorous standards, evolving our products and services to keep pace with the changing needs of Canada’s health system.

On the occasion of our 20th anniversary, we would like to thank all of you who have contributed to CADTH’s development, growth and success—from its founders to the staff, partners and stakeholders who today carry out, support and benefit from its mission.

Looking ahead to a complex future, we are committed to meeting the demand for evidence-based information to support health decision making. We will persist in our pursuit of excellence, doing our part to ensure the vitality and capacity of Canada’s health care system.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jill M. Sanders
President and CEO
