30-baht universal healthcare programme to start next month

Patients using the new Bt30 universal healthcare programme will be allowed to change hospitals four times a year once the revived programme gets underway on September 1, the public health minister said on Monday.

Witthaya Buranasiri said the Bt30-per-visit universal healthcare programme will begin nationwide on September 1 with the participation of community hospitals, general hospitals, regional-centre hospitals and some private hospitals.
Under the revived programme, patients will be able to use their ID cards to request a change of hospitals
