Key strategies include conducting research in primary health care, global health, and active aging, investing in education for future leaders, and providing long-term capacity building. AIHD also collaborates on the ILO's “Support to the extension of social health protection in Southeast Asia” project, enhancing social health protection capacities. Since 1978, AIHD has offered a Master’s in Primary Healthcare Management, training about 800 health leaders globally. In collaboration with the ILO, AIHD added a Social Health Protection (SHP) component to this program in 2020, aiming to promote universal health coverage (UHC) by equipping professionals with expertise in SHP. This includes modules on strategic purchasing, health systems, health financing, and health economics. This is the second collaboration with the AIHD, which requested SOCIEUX+ support in mobilizing two public EU experts - from Croatia and France this time - to deliver lectures on health financing.
