*2.2.1 Discussion change objectives*

Each insurance representative had the opportunity to address shortcomings of the current system and their expectations for an improved insurance scheme. The key statements resulting from this discussion are summarized in **Table 1**. These shortcomings and expectations were well aligned with those proposed by the core team during the workshop preparation. Overall, there was high concordance among the participants.

Finally, participants shared a common voice that the workshop would yield a tool to choose the most rational insurance system to meet the needs of their provincial environments, while still maintaining national consistency.
