Virtual care, real costs: Who should carry the burden?

Date:  8 July 2025
Host:  IHF

Hosted by the IHF Special Interest Group on Virtual Care, in partnership with Apollo Hospitals Group, India, this is the second in a series of Conversations in Virtual Care.

Tuesday 8 July, 08:00 am to 09:00 am (CEST) – open to all IHF Members

As virtual care becomes an integral part of modern healthcare, the question of who pays and how remains unresolved. Chaired by Apollo Hospitals Group, join a panel of global experts from Indonesia, Australia, and Norway as they explore diverse funding models and the real costs behind virtual care delivery.

This thought-provoking session will examine:

  • Public vs. private sector
  • Equity and access in digital health funding
  • Lessons learned from international models

IHF Members are welcome to email Ilona Johnston to request a place.

The recording will be made available for viewing on demand.

In the following webinar in the series (conversation 3), we will examine how leaders can build patient trust and ensure quality and safety.
