The Thai cabinet has decided to postpone indefinitely the Public Health Ministry’s plan to introduce a medical entitlement program for COVID-19 patients, instead of using the Universal Coverage for Emergency Patients (UCEP), reportedly to avoid public confusion.

 

The new medical entitlement program, which aimed to remove COVID-19 from the list of conditions covered by UCEP, was due to come into effect on March 1st.  It was intended to encourage people infected by the virus, who have no or mild symptoms, to use their rights under the social security scheme, the gold card program or the welfare scheme for state officials to get medical treatment.

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told the media, after the cabinet meeting yesterday (Tuesday), that the cabinet had decided to retain the entitlement under UCEP for COVID-19 patients, so there will not be public confusion at a time when infections are surging.

And no chance of upsetting voters?
