19th National Health Assembly Focuses on Disease Prevention and Addressing an Aging Society

Published 2026-10-30

The 19th National Health Assembly was held on 28–29 October 2569 (B.E.) at IMPACT Forum, Muang Thong Thani, and was opened by Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul. At the event, Mr. Anutin emphasised preventing illness before people become sick.

Thailand is entering an aged society, and the number of older people increases every year. Therefore, caring for health before illness occurs is very important. Disease prevention, such as exercising, eating beneficial foods, and getting regular health check-ups, can help people stay healthy in the long term and help reduce medical treatment costs.

In addition, the Assembly also gave attention to "Wellness," or holistic health care, which is viewed as an opportunity to drive the country's economy. Health-related businesses and health tourism are becoming increasingly popular. This concept may therefore help create jobs and income for many sectors.

The National Health Assembly is an important platform where government agencies, private sector organisations, and the public come together to exchange views on the development of the country's health system. Those interested can follow further news from the relevant agencies when more detailed information is published.
