The healthcare system is confronted with various challenges, including the increasing demand for access to care, rising costs, and the need for more efficient service delivery. These challenges have led to overcrowding, long wait times, and limited availability of healthcare professionals. Furthermore, the escalating cost of medical treatments poses a financial burden on individuals, particularly older adults who require complex care. Inefficiencies and lack of coordination within the system hinder effective service delivery. However, there is hope for transformation through technological advancements. Digital health, telemedicine, personalized medicine, and healthcare innovation offer opportunities to revolutionize the healthcare system, making it more accessible and effective. To tackle these challenges and embrace innovation, Poltekkes Kemenkes Bengkulu organizes the Bengkulu International Conference on Health (B-ICON) 2023, bringing together experts, scholars, and practitioners. This conference serves as a platform to discuss the challenges faced and explore innovative approaches to improve healthcare quality, ultimately transforming the healthcare landscape.
