17th Caribbean Conference on National Health Financing Initiatives

The 17th Conference is jointly hosted by The University of the West Indies, HEU, Centre for Health Economics and The Bermuda Health Council.

As in previous Conferences which focused on selected themes, the 17th Conference will devote attention to 'Resilient Health Financing Systems in the Caribbean: Confronting Change, Transition and Transformation'.

Particular consideration will be centered on:

• International, regional and national challenges and drivers of change in the policies and operations of national health financing systems and institutions (re: mix of demographic, epidemiological, environmental, technological, fiscal and social factors);
• Case studies of change preparedness and change management ('what worked and what did not') for systemic and institutional resilience from the viewpoint of policy advisors and frontline managers in national health financing institutions; and
• Emerging best practices in change management and sources of support to secure effectiveness and sustain health progress in the Caribbean.

 

PAPERS, PRESENTATIONS AND SESSIONS

We have a well-planned mix of:

• Feature papers, panel discussions, peer reviews, facilitated dialogues and leadership roundtables;
• Selected Caribbean and non-Caribbean speakers;
• New and experienced presenters; and
• The full benefits of open one-on-one sharing of insights, experiences and suggestions from participants during and outside Conference hours.
