NHSO partners with the Royal College of Pediatricians of Thailand to enhance the efficiency of critical infant care systems

Published 2026-10-17

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) has organized a consultation session with the Royal College of Pediatricians of Thailand to identify ways to develop health benefits and services for Thai children under the Gold Card scheme, with a focus on elevating the quality of medical treatment.

A key point of discussion was the proposal to review the pediatric patient referral system, particularly for infants in critical condition who require rapid care and specialized expertise, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to access standardized treatment nationwide.

The Royal College of Pediatricians of Thailand provided academic data and recommendations for the NHSO to use in improving the flexibility of the service system. This improvement to the referral system will help reduce risks and increase survival rates for newborns with severe illnesses or complex medical conditions.

This collaboration marks a significant step in developing the Thai public health system. The NHSO has affirmed that it will carefully consider all proposals to plan the allocation of budget and resources in alignment with the actual needs of medical facilities and pediatric patients.

These efforts reflect the commitment of government agencies to care for the health of Thai children, who are the future of the nation. It is expected that these system improvements will help build confidence among parents and enhance the quality of life for Thai children in the long term.
