NHIS Operates Capacity-Building Invitation Workshop for Laos and Thailand

The National Health Insurance Service announced that it is operating a capacity-building invitation workshop for healthcare officials from the Ministries of Health of Laos and Thailand until the 26th.

As part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 'K-Health Overseas Expansion Support Project for Healthcare,' the Service is conducting comprehensive consulting for the 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

In the first year, consulting was successfully conducted on financial risk management systems targeting the Philippines, and in the second year, Vietnam and Cambodia. This year, the final year of the first phase, in-depth policy consulting is being conducted targeting Laos and Thailand.

The invitation workshop was held with the goal of sharing overall know-how on Korean health insurance financial management, understanding the current status of health insurance finances considering the socio-economic situations of Laos and Thailand, and providing comprehensive consulting necessary for effective financial risk management, including future development directions and future model proposals.

During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to enhance their understanding of the overall health insurance financial management system and share the Service’s accumulated success cases through a mid-term report on the 'ASEAN Adaptive Financial Risk Management System Construction Support Consulting,' deriving improvement measures for health insurance financial risk management, proposing future target models for financial risk management by country, and discussions.

In particular, during this workshop, Kim Dong-wan, Standing Auditor of the Service, delivered a special lecture titled ‘Financial Management through Enhanced Internal Control,’ which drew positive responses from participants by presenting concrete cases.
