The International Actuarial Association Health Section (IAAHS) was created by the IAA on May 17, 2003, following the success of the 1st International Health Seminar in Cancún in March 2002. The IAAHS promotes and facilitates international exchange of views, advice, research and practical information among actuaries involved with public and private health issues. These issues include policy and program design, research and planning, adequacy and services delivery, sustainability, insurance, pre-funding, and other financing methods.

The Section organizes colloquia where knowledge is exchanged among actuaries of different countries and different disciplines. IAAHS also publishes the Online Journal several times a year, and has recently created various Topic Teams, which members can join and participate in areas of interest.
