Opening Plenary of the 7th iHEA World Congress in Beijing
Over 2,000 delegates attended the opening of the iHEA Congress in Beijing. Carried below is the text of the Welcome Remarks. The slides from the keynote speeches by iHEA President Uwe Reinhardt and by Dr. Han Qide (Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress, Chairman of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (as a Cardiologist), and a director of the organizing committee) will be posted for downloading on the iHEA website soon.
Welcome by Executive Director Tom Getzen to the opening session of the iHEA 7th World Congress in Beijing, July 12, 2009.
To my colleagues from 65 countries -welcome to the 7th iHEA World Congress. On behalf of iHEA and its members, I would like to give our thanks to the China Health Economics Association for hosting us here in Beijing. And a special thanks Minister of Health Chen Zhu, Vice-Minister Chen Xiahong, Vice Chairman Han Qide and the other officials who have graced us with their presence and support. I also need to express my appreciation to Professor Teh-Wei Hu, a deputy chair of this conference, who accompanied me here three years ago for a series of fruitful discussions that brought forth the support of the CHEA to host this venture.
The iHEA you see today grew out of several professional events: the world conference organized by Peter Zweifel in Zurich in 1990, the creation of the Arrow Award for best paper in health economics, and my sabbatical at University of York in 1993 where I met Tony Culyer, Alan Williams and the members of the HESG-Health Economics Study Group. It was clear that we needed an international association to foster communication and promote research. Several previous conferences had been held, but they were not linked together to create an organization and a community. I convinced several of the leading editors, Jospeh Newhouse, Mark Pauly, Alan Maynard, to join with me as our first presidents, and iHEA was born in 1994. Morris Barer, who had promised to host the next conference when economists gathered in Zurich in 1990, was finally able to do so in 1996 -and he suggested that it be a conference of iHEA—held in Vancouver. At that time we were astounded when 620 delegates arrived. Since then, iHEA has grown, and grown threefold.
Frans Rutten volunteered to host the next congress in Rotterdam in 1999. Michael Drummond brought the Congress to York in 2001. Richard Scheffler hosted the 2003 Congress in San Francisco. Guillem Lopez —our incoming president, hosted the 2005 Barcelona Congress presided over by Bengt Jonnson. The 2007 Copenhagen Congress hosted by Terkel Christiansen was presided over by our immediate past-president, Jane Hall These iHEA officers are among the most well known and respected health economists. They are the leaders. Their research, publications and policy advice have been in high demand around the world -and yet they gave their time to help all of us by organizing committees and conferences in which thousands have participated and advanced their careers as health economists. We owe a great debt to them for the effort they volunteered to organize and advance our profession—as we do to the members of the iHEA Scientific Committee and the local Host Organizing Committee. We also owe the universities and funders who have graciously allowed them to take time to create new journals and organizations, to cover the overhead of professional development for new health economists and policy advisors worldwide. Among these new health economists are the academics of the CHEA and at universities all over China.
When iHEA was first approached by a delegation from China at Rotterdam in 1999 we did not know many of them, and their work was not well known to the rest of the world. Yet in six years China has grown so rapidly, made so many strides in advancing academics, that we are now proud to have iHEA held here in Asia for the first time. The gains made in science, health and economy by China during the last decade have been astounding. China is taking a leadership role in the world, as are its health economists.
Today there are loud calls for reform of the health care system in both America and China. Even though reform is an issue in almost every country, I believe it is most challenging and difficult right now in these two. Health economists find themselves giving advice in uncharted waters and many innovative ideas are being tested. The rapid progress of Chinese health economists from a small delegation sent to Rotterdam in 1999 to the surging numbers here today makes me suspect that Asians may be learning the lessons from international comparisons and collaboration more rapidly. iHEA is proud to be in Asia for the first time. We hope to provide some small assistance in promoting the success and harmony of health reform during our next four days in Beijing.

The Chine Health Economics Association is very pleased with how things have gone so far, and so are we (despite some minor bumps such as computer virus and real heat (35 degrees today)).”
