Bt1.9bn in ThaiHealth funding set to resume

Bt1.9bn in ThaiHealth funding set to resume

The massive Thai Health Promotion Organisation fund is ready to be unlocked as related regulations have been amended, while the selection of seven ThaiHealth specialist committee members will be held today, the government has said.

Deputy Prime Minister Admiral Narong Pipatanasai revealed yesterday he had signed the amendment for 15 ThaiHealth regulations that obstructed the transparent sponsorship on ThaiHealth projects. The move would allow the organisation to resume providing Bt1.9 billion to its partners, he said.
Narong said if Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha approved resuming the funding, ThaiHealth could distribute its funds without the action being inspected by the Monitoring and Auditing Committee on Fiscal Expenditure as in the past.
He said he would head the seven specialist committee members selected today, with the list of committee members to be put to the Cabinet for approval.
He said none of the previous committee members reapplied for the positions.
