Our history
Two decades of health informatics in Indonesia
IAHI was founded on 10 November 2005 in Jakarta as an independent, non-profit organisation: all of its income is used to support its work programmes and the development of its activities. It was formed as a forum for communication, collaboration, and scientific development for professionals from medicine, public health, information technology, the social sciences, and other fields with an interest in health informatics.
Over time, IAHI has developed a complete institutional structure, with institutional and individual membership in several categories based on status and contribution to the field. The association takes an active part in national and international forums as its contribution to the global discourse on health informatics. Its Health Informatics Forum has been a key venue for sharing knowledge and experience and for building professional networks at national and international levels.
