A 5-day Workshop titled “Health Technology Assessment: Roles, Methods and Challenges”, organised by the Centre for Health Systems and Policy Research at the JC School of Public Health and Primary Care, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The Workshop will be held on 13-14 July (Part I), and 14-15 & 19 August 2025 (Part II) for researchers, professionals and stakeholders involved in the development, evaluation, and implementation of health technologies and policies.

Health Technology Assessment (HTA), which emerged in the 1970s, plays a vital role in the evidence-based decision-making for new and innovative healthcare technologies including drugs and devices. HTA is a crucial multidisciplinary process to evaluate the benefits, efficacy, clinical and technical safety and cost-effectiveness of health interventions that informs decision-making to promote an equitable, efficient, and high-quality health system. This 5-day HTA Workshop will provide an overview of global HTA development, foundational concepts and methodologies, practical and hands-on sessions, and applications in China and the HKSAR.

【私人醫療保險於亞太地區醫療系統的策略角色】
隨著人口老化及慢性疾病和非傳染性疾病的負擔日益增加，全球醫療系統正面臨前所未有的壓力。為加強醫療系統的負載能力，各地政策制定者正尋求公共醫療衞生融資以外的替代方案，以確保公平的醫療服務，並研究私人醫療保險是否能填補缺口，促進全民健康覆蓋。

香港中文大學（中大）醫學院賽馬會公共衞生及基層醫療學院醫療體系及政策研究所聯同亞太地區醫療系統強化網絡（ANHSS），於5月7日合辦「亞太地區知識薈萃活動：私人醫療保險在實現醫療系統目標和促進全民健康的策略角色」研討會。是次活動匯聚超過140位來自八個國家及地區的政策制定者、學術界代表、監管機構、經濟學家和保險業界人士，共同探討私人醫療保險在推動亞太地區醫療系統進步的策略角色，並建立一個全面的交流平台。

與會者就「全民健康覆蓋的原則」、「不同醫療系統設計如何應對共同挑戰」，以及「私人醫療保險如何作為可持續融資工具，以補充和補足現有的融資計劃」三大主題分享他們的專業知識和見解。來自中國內地、印尼、馬來西亞、新加坡、韓國、泰國和菲律賓的講者分享了各國如何發展私人醫療保險，以及其與公共醫療保險系統如何互相配合，以實現全民健康覆蓋的目標。

【The strategic role of private health insurance for health system goals】
Health systems worldwide are under unprecedented strain from ageing population and the increasing burden of chronic and non-communicable diseases. Policymakers are exploring alternatives beyond public health financing to provide equitable access to healthcare. They are also studying whether private health insurance can bridge gaps and support health systems in achieving universal coverage.

On 7 May 2025, the Centre for Health Systems and Policy Research (CHSPR) of the Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)’s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine), in collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Network for Health Systems Strengthening (ANHSS), organised a regional knowledge event. The event provided a comprehensive overview of the strategic role of private health insurance in achieving health system goals and universal health coverage across the Asia-Pacific region. Over 140 policymakers, academics, regulators, economists and insurers from eight countries and regions gathered to exchange insights.

Participants shared their expertise and insights on three main themes: the principles of universal health coverage, how different health system designs address common challenges, and how private health insurance can complement and supplement existing financing schemes as a sustainable financing tool. Speakers from mainland China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines discussed how their countries have developed private health insurance and how this insurance works alongside the public health insurance system to achieve the goal of universal coverage.

【 learnt during COVID-19】
The COVID-19 pandemic presented global communities with an unprecedented crisis. In the recovery phase, it is crucial that the lessons learnt from country responses are synthesised to inform health system resilience policies and combat any future public health threat.
Last week, the Centre for Health Systems and Policy Research (CHSPR) at the Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at CU Medicine collaborated with the Asia-Pacific Network for Health Systems Strengthening (ANHSS) in organising a Regional Knowledge Event - Health System and Community Resilience: Lessons From The COVID-19 Pandemic. Over 200 participants and guests from more than 10 countries and areas gathered to underscore the significance of discussing health system and community resilience in the context of the pandemic.
Officiating guests of the opening of the Event included Professor the Hon LO Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR); Professor Francis CHAN Ka-leung, Dean of CU Medicine; Professor Samuel WONG Yeung-shan, Director of The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at CU Medicine; and Professor YEOH Eng-kiong, Director of the Centre of Health System and Policy Research at CU Medicine.
The event also featured a diverse group of esteemed speakers from across the Asia-Pacific region, including national and sub-national-level health policymakers such as Dr Ronald LAM, Director of Health of the HKSAR; Dr Kerry CHANT, Chief Health Officer in New South Wales, Australia and her team; Professor Vernon LEE, Group Director, Communicable Diseases Group of the Ministry of Health, and Executive Director of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases in Singapore; and Dr Maria Endang SUMIWI, Director General of Public Health, Ministry of Health of Indonesia. They shared their expertise and insights on three main themes:
(i) collaboration with communities in preparing for, responding to, mitigating and adapting to public health threats;
(ii) lessons learnt in transforming health systems; and
(iii) strategies for institutionalising the knowledge acquired to promote health system and community resilience.
The event created a platform for knowledge exchange between participants, allowing them to discuss the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and review actions taken to enhance health system resilience. With the evidence-based research translated to practical interventions, valuable insights could be provided to policymakers to formulate and implement effective pandemic control policies.
