Health system improvements to ensure best treatment of rare or extreme diseases

 

 

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) is working on a system to ensure access to health services for patients afflicted with rare and very rare diseases.

 

The NHSO board, chaired by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, met on Monday to consider a proposal to enable people with such diseases to have access to treatment under the government’s universal health program.

 

The proposal was submitted to the board for consideration by a panel recently set up by the NHSO and headed by Assoc. Prof. Cherdchai  Nopmaneejumruslers, deputy director of Siriraj hospital.

is it ethical to spend millions per year on just one person that let's say will never be productive or contribute to the economy of the country when one is terminal sick and denying by this normal healthcare for thousands others ?

 

thai people seem to pay nothing for healthcare, not contributing either...hence the crappy government hospitals where government people can go everyday if they want and get expensive medication for free, ready to be used for other purposes or sell them for a profit...
