BANGKOK (NNT) - A recent meeting of the Health Systems Research Institute (HSRI)’s committee outlined a three-year organizational advancement plan. It is designed to enhance the efficiency of the public health system and better address emergency situations. The plan emphasizes the universal healthcare policy’s elevation to further extend services, especially to vulnerable groups, ensuring equity for all.

 

Deputy Government Spokesperson Kanika Aunjit announced that the 10th committee meeting for this year of the HSRI set a three-year plan for organizational propulsion to align with government health policies. The focus is on creating a more effective public health system and being able to support during emergency situations. The universal healthcare policy, which aims to cover all diseases for a nominal fee of 30 Baht, is set to become even more pivotal. The policy will expand services to a broader populace, especially vulnerable groups, in the spirit of equality. The institution will focus on ‘Frontier Research’ in accordance with the government’s mandate to the Ministry of Public Health to advance policies in 2024.

 

The implementation of these plans aligns with the Quick Win strategy. The plan includes increasing urban service accessibility, rehabilitation for mental health & drug addiction, and comprehensive cancer prevention and treatment. In addition, it will boost medical staff morale, enhance primary healthcare, and digital health, and promote fertility, among others.

 

Spokesperson Kanika further explained that the HSRI will play a crucial role in generating knowledge to support health policy implementation and national development. Four key strategic areas include creating and managing health research knowledge; developing administrative systems to promote the application of research findings; nurturing research personnel and networks; and developing organizational management mechanisms to accommodate change.

 

For the 2024 fiscal year, the goal is to evolve the institute to achieve improved operation and a better health system within three years, becoming an organization capable of effectively supporting work objectives.
