Thonburi Healthcare Group unveils plan to tackle decline in Thai doctors

[webfact]

 

Thonburi Healthcare Group Plc (THG), which manages Thonburi Hospital, is teaming up with Assumption University to combat Thailand‘s chronic doctor shortage.

 

An international medicine programme is set to launch in 2025, in collaboration with the prestigious St Luke School of Medicine.

 

THG CEO Tanatip Suppradit explains that the programme plans to admit 60 students annually, attracting talent not just from Thailand but also from countries like Myanmar and China.

With a meagre 70,000 doctors in Thailand and less than one physician per 1,000 people, the nation’s healthcare is under siege. Dr Tanatip warns of a critical brain drain, leading to overworked medical professionals on the brink of burnout.
