Health Thailand Mobilises 18,000 Caregivers for Nationwide Health Push
File photo for reference only Thailand is launching a bold initiative to deploy 18,000 caregivers across the country, aiming to support over 100,000 elderly and dependent patients. This record-breaking effort forms a key part of the government’s economic stimulus programme for 2025, aimed not only at improving healthcare access but also at generating thousands of jobs within local communities. At the heart of this initiative is the National Health Security Office (NHSO), whose board, chaired by Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin, gave the green light for the recruitment on 7th July. This decision follows a Cabinet resolution endorsing enhanced healthcare services tailored specifically for dependent patients. Minister Somsak highlighted the critical nature of this move, given Thailand's rapidly ageing population. "Hiring caregivers is crucial for supporting our elderly population. It will ease family burdens and lessen the strain on public health services," he explained. "This approach provides employment opportunities and boosts community income, aligning with the government’s broader economic recovery strategy." On 24th June, the Cabinet approved a hefty stimulus package totalling 157 billion baht (about THB 157,000 million), with 1.115 billion baht (about THB 1,115 million) specifically allocated for the NHSO. This funding supports both community-based healthcare and economic development. The initiative funds caregivers separately from the 30-baht universal healthcare scheme, according to the Interior Ministry’s 2019 regulations for community care volunteers. Somsak confirmed that the caregiver employment budget is set for the next fiscal year, and a detailed recruitment plan is in preparation, soon to be presented for Cabinet approval. Local administrative organisations are tasked with determining the appropriate caregiver-to-patient ratios, based on local needs. This ensures that staffing levels are appropriately matched to the number of dependents in each community. The programme promises significant relief for families struggling to care for elderly relatives or patients requiring constant assistance with daily activities. For many, this could mean a marked improvement in quality of life. In summary, Thailand’s investment in healthcare infrastructure through this multi-billion baht initiative not only addresses immediate needs but is also pivotal for economic stimulus. This dual approach of healthcare support and job creation reflects a strategic effort to rejuvenate local economies while meeting the pressing demands of an ageing population.

Are a Few People Ruining the Internet For the Rest of Us?
It's much worse than that, the AI models are fed with carefully curated content that is meant to offend anybody, plain vanilla, inoffensive word porridge. If there is even a hint of a possibility that a fact could upset anyone it is deemed "harmful" and not included in the AI model. Pretty soon everyone in the world will have a plain vanilla version of the world, carefully curated not to offend Americans. -
