On July 19-23, HFACT partners and colleagues attended the biennial International Health Economics Association (iHEA) congress in Bali, Indonesia.

Six individual abstracts from various partners (CHE, PRICELESS, IEPS, Fipe) were accepted and presented to audiences ranging from 15 to 80 people. The CHEPS team delivered three organised sessions with varied themes including the financial burden on NCDs, innovative health financing for marginalized populations and actuarial and financial modelling for universal healthcare coverage. Atik Nurwahyuni, a CHEPS researcher, also delivered a presentation providing updates on the INA-DRG payment system in a pre-congress session organised by the World Bank.

Congratulations to all of the researchers who presented their research and received valuable feedback! We look forward to sharing more HFACT work in future conferences.
