Health Budget May Reach a Deadlock, Patients May Face Longer Waiting Times
Published
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health acknowledges that opportunities to increase the budget for medical treatment in the future are limited, at a time when the national budget has only just begun to be used. This has led many parties to become concerned about the healthcare of the public.
In addition, the system for allocating and spending the budget toward the end of the fiscal year may cause patients to face longer waiting times for services, as hospitals may not have sufficient resources for all patients. Budget management is therefore an important issue for Thailand's public health system.
On this matter, perspectives were presented by two executives of the Ministry of Public Health, who pointed out the challenges the health system is facing and discussed seeking approaches to ensure services can continue to be provided efficiently.
