4th Health Policy Decision Makers Forum Asia-Pacific organised by ESSEC Business School in partnership with Peking University

The Fourth Health Policy Decision Makers Forum Asia-Pacific, an international platform for high-ranking stakeholders in health policy and strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, is being held in Beijing at Peking University on October 21-22, 2016. This year’s theme is “Funding and Providing Healthcare for the Elderly: Innovative Solutions”. 

This annual forum is coordinated in ongoing partnership between the China Center for Health Economic Research at Peking University and the ESSEC Institute of Health Economics and Management Asia-Pacific (IHEM). The 2016 forum also partners with the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Beijing Chapter and the Chinese Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. 

During the forum, expertise in health economics will be featured from an important set of countries: China, France, South Korea, and Japan, all of which are represented through the forum’s Asia-Pacific scientific committee. Primary sessions for this year’s forum focus on funding approaches to eldercare from aging countries, innovative approaches to providing dual support via healthcare and social care, and challenges that elderly patients face in access to medications. A series of workshops also address major disease areas associated with ageing: neuro-degenerative diseases, cancer and patient blood management.
