Seven health units were visited, with schemes ranging from community financing and private health insurance to cross-funding within private hospital networks and public finance funding mechanisms. All participants visited each unit. The allotted time for each visit was a maximum of 20 minutes. Each visit consisted of a five-minute presentation by the host, followed by discussion (see Table 5).

All seven units were in the Sleman district, which in 1997 covered a total area of 875 square kilometres, 17 sub-districts and 86 villages with a total population of 804,491 (50.7% female and 49.3% male).
