In 2018 alone, KIHASA researchers brought to completion 57 research reports and 129 policy reports. These reports cover policy diagnosis and prescription for national issues concerning health care, social security and social welfare. In some of these we undertook evaluation and monitoring of existing policies, with a view to ensuring that they are implemented in a trustable and reliable manner. This Annual Report is intended to serve as a signpost with which to look back on what we did last year and direct our way forward. Along with the summaries of some of the notable research projects undertaken in 2018, this report listed various activities we conducted—policy dialogues, and international conferences, among many others—in the past year.
