Thailand Accelerates Universal Healthcare Coverage Nationwide
Thailand's Health Ministry is expanding the 30 Baht for Healthcare Anywhere programme nationwide, targeting full implementation by the end of 2024. Currently active in 46 provinces, the initiative will officially launch nationwide on December 25, led by PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The programme integrates digital health technologies, streamlining patient referrals and improving efficiency. Evolving from its original 30 baht scheme, patients now receive treatment across locations without payment. Future reforms will address biosafety, elderly care, and referral systems, marking a significant transformation in Thailand's universal healthcare strategy.
This is a 16% increase YoY i.e. from under "Tory rule", so not that big a thing to crow about, especially as they were paid GBP 3,000 to leave (if they did). Basically if they overstay they get given GBP 3,000 and flight paid to go home (note Thai system is different).
The returns were classed as voluntary and were likely to include people who had overstayed their visas. The Home Office offers incentives for voluntary returnees of up to £3,000 including for babies and children. The sweeteners are provided in the form of pre-loaded cards that can be activated once people touch down in their home country.
The government is keen to trumpet its deportation credentials with figures published on Thursday revealing 8,308 enforced and voluntary returns between July and September 2024, a 16% increase on the same period last year. The majority – 6,247 – were voluntary returns, an increase of 12% on this category of returns during the same period in 2023. While the government is keen to promote the numbers returned they have failed to mention publicly that the destination of these historic deportation flights was Brazil.

yeah, AMerican legislators could not even floor a bill outlawing insider trading by the congressmen since they are well aware of big companies and projects but the congress folks realize that this is another way to riches...just look at the famiy money after retirement from the govt and add up the possible amount of their salaries during their tenure....unbelieveable to me anyway as I was a govt employee and I sure didn't get rich! Need to really be able to cleanse them but that will never happen as the head crook also picks the supreme court to take care of them too.
