PAIR Summit: Improving Healthcare

The Partnership for Australia-Indonesia Research (PAIR) is a development initiative that focuses on the theme: ‘Connectivity, People and Place’. It seeks to better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by Indonesia’s rapid physical and economic development.

On 30 November 2021, PAIR Summit will explore the topic of improving healthcare – which will be divided into two sessions: “Improving health data connectivity and integration” and “Protecting healthcare workers and changing public attitudes during a crisis”.

The first session at 01.00 PM AEDT will talk about data duplication, inconsistency, and information gaps. The pandemic showed just how important timely, accurate and complete data is to policy response and managing community wellbeing. This session explores the challenges of health data connectivity and integration in Indonesia. There are opportunities for Australia and Indonesia to collaborate in strengthening digital health.

The second session at 02.10 PM AEDT will focus more on ways in protecting healthcare workers and changing public attitudes during a crisis. Changing health system practices and effective adoption of health and safety measures are some ways to curb the spread of COVID. But what does it take to decrease infection rates among frontline health workers and increase public compliance through public health education campaigns? This session discusses critical areas that need attention to better protect healthcare workers and explores public attitudes towards social distancing and vaccine uptake.
