Mission & History
              
              Charting forward-looking policies that lead the future of health and welfare:
              KIHASA is built on the belief that robust research evidence will lead to better policy decisions and performance and, in turn, to improved living standards. Thus KIHASA’s two-fold mission: providing empirical and analytical bases for short-to long-term policymaking and promoting the public’s understanding of policy issues concerning their health and welfare.
