WHO Sends Open Letter to PM Anutin Supporting Financial Stability of ThaiHealth
Published
The World Health Organization (WHO) has sent an open letter to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul expressing its views on the financial and fiscal management of the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, or ThaiHealth.
In the letter, WHO proposes that the government maintain the tax rates on alcohol and tobacco so that funding for health promotion work can continue on an ongoing basis.
WHO states that ThaiHealth is a model of innovation in health promotion and disease prevention. Investment in this area helps reduce long-term health problems and lowers the country's healthcare expenditure. The organization therefore considers that ThaiHealth's work should be supported so that it can continue and be further developed.
