In early 2022, the 2020 Program for Global Health was invited by Indonesian leadership to participate in the Bali 2022 G2/T2 program throughout the year. This came are a result of the work of Dr. Miroslaw Manicki and colleague from Indonesia and Germany to establish a national universal coverage program in health for Indonesia. Their foundational efforts took place over a six-year period from 2004 to 2010, culminating in the introduction of the program in 2014.
Dr. Manicki has led out in the development of such plans in his work as a regional health leader in Poland and in oversight of the National Health Fund in Poland in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He had worked with the key medical and health communities then to establish standards and comprehensive planning tied to payment, an expert and provider-led program. This led to a comprehensive legislative and planning package that has been applied to various degrees in several country systems with support from the developmental finance community.
The Bali 2022 program matches the planning process with a unique form of information technology. This technology extends the digital fluency of experts and authorities by allowing to extend and apply their knowledge and experience beyond documents and Dr. Kenneth Tingey and a small team has been working with Dr. Manicki since 2010 to combine Dr. Manicki's knowledge-based approach with this kind of digital fluency, which we refer to as fluidity of knowledge. As documented by Manuel Castells in his 1996 book “The Rise of the Network Society,” anything not accessible on the global network doesn't exist in any practical way. That can't be the case with regard to medical and health knowledge and application, nor in direct compensation for related acts.
The Bali G20/T20 2022 program resulted in the policy brief “Capacity Development in Enhanced Multilevel Governance Based on a Tripartite ‘Head (Cognitive), Hand (Digital), Heart (Music Performance)’ Model." This puts Poland and Indonesia center stage in efforts to revive and reinforce what has been shown to work in the past, but has been ignored or drowned out by other forces.
