NHIS Conducts Capacity-Building Training Program for Nepal Health Care Officials

The National Health Insurance Service announced on the 5th that it will operate a capacity-building invitation training course for health and medical personnel from Nepal until the 12th.

Since signing an operational agreement with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter KOICA) on June 15 for the "Capacity Building Project for Establishing an Efficient Health Insurance System in Nepal," the Service has been continuously conducting projects to strengthen the capabilities of health and medical personnel, who are key to achieving universal health coverage in Nepal.

This training course is the second-year project of the three-year global training program, inviting 21 health and medical officials from the Nepal Ministry of Health and the Health Insurance Board, and is being held at the KOICA Training Center.

The second-year training was planned to focus on comprehensive capacity building necessary for policy decision-making, including enhancing participants' overall understanding of the Korean health insurance system, understanding health insurance policies considering Nepal's socio-economic conditions, presenting future directions and models for the development of the health insurance system, and promoting public understanding and participation in the system.

Specifically, the program includes discussion-centered lectures on Korea's universal health coverage (UHC) achievement policies, health finance stabilization and resource mobilization strategies, insurance benefit levels and coverage, system management frameworks and organizational structures, as well as visits to the National Health Insurance Service headquarters, tertiary hospitals, and elderly care facilities to deepen understanding of the Korean system.
