Funding boost for healthcare
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) will receive nearly Bt200 billion in fiscal 2020, about Bt6.5 billion more than the provision for fiscal 2019.
The Cabinet yesterday approved a Bt191-billion budget, increasing the per-head subsidy to Bt3,600 for 48.26 million members of the “gold card” universal healthcare scheme, NHSO secretary-general Dr Sakchai Kanjanawatana said.
