Learning from pandemic responses
This article is part of the Research Topic ‘ Health Systems Recovery in the Context of COVID-19 and Protracted Conflict ’. The third quarter of 2022 saw COVID-19 cases and deaths in Thailand reduced significantly, and high levels of COVID-19 vaccine coverage. COVID-19 was declared an “endemic” disease, and economic activities resumed. This paper reviews pre-pandemic health systems capacity and identifies pandemic response strengths, weaknesses an…
Procedural fairness in benefit package design
Since 2002, Thailand’s Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) has adopted a comprehensive benefits package with few exclusions. A positive-list approach has gradually been applied, with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of HIV recently being included. Disagreements resulting from competing values and diverging interests necessitate an emphasis on procedural fairness when making any decisions. This qualitative study analyses agenda setting, policy formulat…
Universal access to comprehensive Covid-19 services for everyone in Thailand
Despite Thailand having had universal health coverage (UHC) with comprehensive benefit packages since 2002, services are neither listed nor budget earmarked for COVID-19 responses. Policy decisions were made immediately after the first outbreak in 2020 to fully fund a comprehensive benefit package for COVID-19. The Cabinet approved significant additional budget to respond to the unfolding pandemic. The comprehensive benefit package includes labor…
Participatory and responsive governance in universal health coverage
Participatory and responsive governance in universal health coverage (UHC) systems synergistically ensure the needs of citizens are protected and met. In Thailand, UHC constitutes of three public insurance schemes: Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme, Social Health Insurance and Universal Coverage Scheme. Each scheme is governed through individual laws. This study aimed to identify, analyse and compare the legislative provisions related to parti…
Primary healthcare in the time of Covid-19
In 1948, the WHO was created under the aegis of the United Nations (UN) as the agency to address global health concerns. Health was defined as a ‘state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’.1 In 1978 with the Alma Ata Declaration, the member states of the UN began a process to translate this definition into reality by mandating primary healthcare (PHC) as the health policy for the o…
Paths towards Universal Health Coverage
The rapid economic growth in low and middle-income countries provides the opportunity of translating political commitment into action for achieving Universal Health Coverage. However, this is not straightforward. High donor dependence in low income countries; the lack of fiscal space; the inadequacy of attention to primary health care and under-developed pre-payment systems all pose challenges. Windows of political opportunity open up and ensurin…
Do efficiency gains really translate into more budget for health? An assessment framework and country applications
Efficiency has historically been considered a key mechanism to increase the amount of available revenues to the health sector, enabling countries to expand services and benefits to progress towards universal health coverage (UHC). Country experience indicates, however, that efficiency gains do not automatically translate into greater budget for health, to additional revenues for the sector. This article proposes a framework to assess whether and …
Breastfeeding Practice and Association between Characteristics and Experiences of Mothers Living in Bangkok
Although the benefits of breastfeeding are widely recognized, only 14% of mothers in Thailand exclusively breastfed their children during the first six months of their lives in 2019, which dropped from 23% in 2016. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to six months, current breastfeeding patterns, and key determinants that influence six-month EBF among mothers residing in Bangkok, Thailand. A cross-section…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the annual public hearing process, evaluate its effectiveness and propose recommendations for improvement. METHOD: In-depth interviews were conducted with 29 key i…

Addressing the health of vulnerable populations
An evaluation of health systems equity in Indonesia
As countries like Indonesia focus on increasing coverage, it is critically important to ensure that the poor and vulnerable - who are often the most difficult to reach - are not excluded. The results of this study will not only help track Indonesia's progress to universalism but also reveal what the UHC-reforms mean to the poor
Auxiliary midwives in hard to reach rural areas of Myanmar
Comprehensive support system and national policy are needed to sustain and strengthen the contributions of AMWs, in sharing the workload of midwives, particularly in hard-to-reach areas of Myanmar
Good Health at Low Cost 25 years on
Thailand’s HIV/Aids program after weaning-off the global fund’s support
A pooled funding mechanism from multiple domestic sources was proposed. Replacing the conventional public-financed-public-service by a contractual model was preferable. The GF should continue funding the non-Thai KAP and migrant as transition mechanism. Multi-countries or regional programs especially at the border areas were priorities
Influencing policy change
In recent years there has been a growth in the number of independent health policy analysis institutes in low- and middle-income countries which has occurred in response to the limitation of government analytical capacity and pressures associated with democratization. This study aimed to: (i) investigate the contribution made by health policy analysis institutes in low- and middle-income countries to health policy agenda setting, formulation, imp…
