Overview of Caribbean Health Financing Conferences
Theme: Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Health: Managing Costs, Optimizing Benefits for the Caribbean
In response to requests from Caribbean governments to ‘do more’ in health, Heads of Caribbean Social Security Organizations at their 17th General Meeting (Belize City, June 2006) agreed to establish a Caribbean forum for discussing relevant approaches, challenges and lessons learnt in design and implementation of health financing programs.
As such, these Health Financing Conferences are organized to share knowledge, test ideas and build capacity as we learn from senior policy advisors and policymakers, managers, researchers and other frontline health professionals on how best to advocate, plan, design, secure support and administer health financing initiatives.
Recognizing there are multiple sources of knowledge on health and related health financing matters, participants include experts and officials from Ministries of Health, Social Security Organizations, national health financing agencies, providers of health services (public and private), international organizations, health insurers, third party administrators, as well as health services networks, research agencies, IT companies, actuarial firms and academic institutions.
