The Southeast Asia Collaborative for Health (SEARCH) is a regional learning network housed at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore.
SEARCH aims to improve knowledge, understanding and take-up of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in ASEAN by raising leadership, research, policy and practice capacity for health systems strengthening.
Our objectives
SEARCH’s strategic health purchasing initiative focuses on strategic purchasing as a means to achieve UHC in Southeast Asia. Our objectives include:
1. To build a regional network of collaborators and stakeholders working on strategic health purchasing and healthcare financing Southeast Asia;
2. To increase knowledge and understanding of the current strategic purchasing landscape in Southeast Asia;
3. To produce policy-relevant recommendations to assist governments, purchasers and other stakeholders as they implement their strategic purchasing initiatives.
