The primary objective of the Danish Health Technology Council is to target Danish healthcare resources at the technologies and interventions that provide best value for money, across both physical and mental health services. This will help raise the quality of health services, ensure more equality in treatments, and reduce cost pressure in the healthcare system.

The Danish Health Technology Council works on the following principles decided by the Board of Danish Regions:

• More value for money
• Professionalism and independence from the political system
• Transparency
• Equity

The Danish Health Technology Council carries out evaluations as well as more comprehensive analyses for Danish regional governments, along with recommendations concerning the use of specific health technologies. Even if a process has been set in motion to start evaluation of a health technology, regional governments may still use the health technology in question during the process.

The Council was established by the Danish Regions in the beginning of 2021.

The Danish Health Technology Council consists of three units: The Council, the expert committees,
and the secretariat.
