The symposium will explore Indones ia's experience in health system transformation and the role of health ins urance in improving healthcare access\, promoting equity\, and ensuring sy stem sustainability. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also learn about the applic ation of Small Area Estimation (SAE) techniques to generate reliable local -level health indicators that support targeted interventions and informed resource allocation. In addition\, the symposium will highlight how health facility and health insurance data can be leveraged to produce actionable evidence for policy development\, programme evaluation\, and strategic he alth system planning. \n\n\n\nThrough these discussions\, attendees will g ain valuable perspectives on how data\, analytics\, and healthcare financi ng can be integrated to drive more effective and equitable health systems. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor Dr Tharani Loganathan\n\n\n\nD r Tharani Loganathan is a Public Health Medical Specialist in Health Econo mics and a Medical Lecturer at the Department of Social and Preventive Med icine\, Faculty of Medicine\, Universiti Malaya.
