Technical Commission on Medical Care and Sickness Insurance

The Technical Commission on Medical Care and Sickness Insurance (TC Health) is dedicated to addressing healthcare-related challenges. Its primary goal is to identify crucial intersections between policies and administrative functions within the broader social security framework. By ensuring seamless integration of benefits, enhancing coordination, and fostering collaboration, TC Health strives to boost overall efficiency and contribute to better health for all.

In response to the far-reaching impact of health on various aspects of society, social security institutions are increasingly playing a more prominent role in developing effective policies and innovative solutions to address critical health issues.

The International Social Security Association, and its technical commission on health, are dedicated to supporting social security organizations in overcoming major health care-related challenges, such as health care coverage obstacles and long-term care (LTC). The aim is to ensure comprehensive, efficient, and accessible health protection for everyone.

Operating globally to share expertise among key stakeholders and international partners, TC Health contributes to the development of innovative strategies, emphasizing a global perspective in national discussions.

With a focus on sharing best practices and creative approaches for an aging population, TC Health organizes webinars on long-term care and various aspects linked to health and social protection. Members of TC Health also contribute to webinars and events on related topics, such as emerging technologies, fraud detection or environment and sustainability, to provide the health perspective on such issues.

Embracing a global approach is crucial for effectively addressing national public health challenges and providing robust, affordable health protection through support for social security institutions.
