SUMMARY:Towards Justice in Health in ASEAN?
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, most ASEAN countries have enjoyed relatively rapid economic development which was accompanied by significant poverty reduction\, a comprehensive improvement in education system\, and an increase in life expectancy (ASEAN MDG 2017). The progress in population health statistics\, however\, lack behind with much slower improvement in some health targets such as maternal mortality or tuberculosis incidence. Disparities among the countries persist and internal disparities even increased in some countries due to uneven socio-economic and health development. Women ‘s unique health needs are poorly addressed and access to health care for vulnerable populations such as migrants or stateless populations remains a major challenge. \nThese conditions are increasingly affected by regional integration processes unleashed by the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Although not many in the region are aware\, health care is one of the 11 prioritized sectors for accelerated liberalization being viewed as highly attractive for business. Still-to-be-implemented harmonization measures are meant to free up the cross-border flows of health products and services. Member states are committed to lifting all restrictions on the cross-border supply of health care\, such as telemedicine\, and on healthcare consumption abroad through medical tourism. They have also agreed to up to 70 percent share ownership in healthcare businesses for ASEAN investors and to the movement of mutually recognized health professionals\, particularly doctors\, nurses and dentists.[i] \nIn this rapidly changing context\, questions about the distribution of financial and human resources in health among counties and groups in the region become more pressing to ensure adequate health protection and promotion for all and\, as promised by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda\, no-one is left behind. \nThe panel discussion organized by SEA Junction in collaboration with the Equity Initiative\, Ashoka Thailand\, and the Foundation for Leadership Development Network for Health on 31 January at 5.30-7PM will reflect on these health equity issues in the ASEAN countries. Particular attention will be given to implications of regional development and regionalization processes on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and to policies and interventions that are or could be pro-equity. \n  \nThe program is as follows: \nRosalia Sciortino\, Introduction to the event\nDirector SEA Junction & Assoc. Professor\, IPSR\, Mahidol University \nPanel discussion moderated by Piya.Hanvoravongchai\, The Equity Initiative Co-Director and Faculty at the Thailand Research Center for Health Services System at Chulalongkorn University\, with the following speakers and tentative topics: \nKai Hong Phua\, “Equity Trends in Southeast Asia: An Overview”\nFaculty Health Policy and Management\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy\, National University of Singapore \nRashidah Shuib\, “Gender and Health Issues in Southeast Asia: Mind the Gap?”\nProfessor\, School of Health Sciences\, Universiti Sains Malaysia \nEduardo P.
