The 7th Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Public Health Conference (UPHEC)
7th Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Public Health Conference (UPHEC)
Yogyakarta, October 29, 2022
Introduction
One of the lessons learnt from COVID-19 was that the pandemic could be overcome through robust surveillance. Surveillance should not only involve data collection, but a continuous systematic process that encompasses data collection, analysis, interpretation, and subsequently using the results as reference for planning and implementation health policy. The main goal of surveillance, therefore, is to alleviate morbidity and prevent avert-able death through effective intervention.
The theme of this conference is Public Health Surveillance System for a more Resilience Health System, with two topics: First Topic: Strengthening Health Policy, will be focusing on how to develop a robust and effective health policy. Health policy as part of health system is aim to achieve a certain health status through planning, decision, and action. As such, health policy concentrates on health financing, delivering health service, improving access to health care and quality of care, and promoting equity. Health policy, therefore, covers a wide range of categories, from public health (includes, but not limited to, vaccination, tobacco control, health promotion, health insurance), global health, individual health to health services. Second Topic: Best Practice Surveillance System in Health Service Providers, will be focusing on the implementation of surveillance system in health care provider, the achievement and failures, the obstacles and supporting factors, and lessons learnt that could be applied in other settings. Health surveillance is the backbone of a health policy, consequently, the quality of surveillance is crucial for a policy to be effective. One minor mistake in data collection or analysis, for instance, could have fatal consequences in the form of ineffective policies and inefficient budget.
