Speaker: Prof Orly Manor, [Braun School of Public Health, Hebrew University (HU) and Hadassah; Chairwoman of the Israel National Institute for Health Policy Research (INIHPR)]
Prof Manor, former Director of the Braun School, studied statistics at the HU and did her PhD at Stockholm University. She developed the Israel National Program for Quality Indicators in Community Healthcare, and founded the Israel Longitudinal Mortality Studies. Her research interests include quality of care, health inequalities, the developmental origin of adult disease and methodological issues associated with longitudinal studies. She has received the HU Rector’s award for outstanding faculty member and has been visiting professor in many institutions including Stockholm University and Geneva University Hospital.
INIHPR is a framework for advancing health policy, promoting and funding research on health services, their quality, effectiveness and cost. It has created platforms for public discussion about decision-making processes in the health system encouraging interdisciplinary and international scientific cooperation. It is a distinctive neutral meeting ground where all actors – health management organizations (Kupot Cholim), hospitals, the Ministry of Health and academia – meet and discuss issues about health policy decisions and actions. Prof Manor will explain the role of INIHPR, and will illustrate some of its unique features using Covid19 challenges as examples.
