On April 8 and 9, 2024, Director General of the National Payment Certification Agency (NPCA), led a delegation of NPCA professional officials on a study visit to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) of the Republic of Korea. The delegation aimed to learn and gain experience in preparing a certification system for the entire social health protection system. This aimed to go beyond understanding the experience of the Republic of Korea; the NPCA also seeks to build a strategic partnership with HIRA for future collaboration in developing the NPCA’s certification system, all in support of working towards universal health coverage (UHC).
