The North Carolina Insurance Commission shared information about the insurance industry and insurance regulation last week in Raleigh as it welcomed 19 hospital administrators and head physicians from Armenia, Azerbijian, Georgia, Moldovia and the Ukraine.
The group came to Raleigh last week as part of the Special American Business Internship Training Healthcare Administration Program for Western Eurasia and the Caucasus. The program is designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce to train mid- to senior level executives from the Eurasia health care sector. The goal of the program is to is introduce participants to the status to the U.S. heath care system and trends.
Delegates met with Commissioner James Long and other members of his staff.
“It was an honor to have the opportunity to talk with these folks and learn about some of the challenges they face in their home countries with health care,” said Commissioner Long. “Their healthcare systems are just now transitioning into a free-market system; before now, their citizens received health care under a soviet system. I hope that the knowledge we shared with them today about the way North Carolina does things will help them as they look towards their countries’ futures in health care and health insurance.”
They are spending four weeks in the United States, during which time they will be trained in business planning and cross-cultural communication techniques. They will also travel to select regions and cities across the country to meet with leading U.S. hospital officials, healthcare providers and industry experts.
