In the case of Ms. Kanlayaphat Rajitroj, party list MP for the Kaew Klai Party, tweeted a message reiterating the discussion in the House of Representatives. After her discussion of ’30 baht, treatment everywhere’ became a point of criticism. Especially stating that It is a populist policy. and wait to prepare the system before doing it

“Slowly and clearly, before changing the idea from 30 baht to cure every disease that Dr. Sanguan created to be a safety net to help the poor, to 30 baht plus the current Pheu Thai version. which is a populist policy without the public in the equation I would like you to think carefully first. Or at least prepare the system beforehand. Why are you in a hurry? Since hurrying makes it less effective, is this what the party that thinks big does.. (Please read slowly and don’t twist it) as the news has already been presented.

Most recently, Prof. Dr. Manop Phitakphakorn, head of the Precision Medicine Research Center Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Posted a message through x @manopsi and expressed his opinion on the issue saying…I see there is drama regarding 30 baht treatment everywhere. This principle is very good. Many people may not know that hospitals under the Ministry of Public Health throughout the Ministry all use the same EMR medical record system. If health data can be linked well and thoroughly, it will facilitate the transfer of patients to different hospitals, much more convenient. Of course, when it actually starts to be used, there will be a point. There are some glitches that need to be solved on-site. This is why there must be pilot zones/provinces for testing and development before full expansion.

What is more worrying regarding NHSO is their attempt to artificially lower prices for certain services. Just talking regarding money But they don’t care regarding quality. The result is a hospital or lab that refuses to lower quality standards. will choose not to provide service Patients lose opportunities The part that is willing to sacrifice quality in order to control expenses within the limit. The problem will fall on doctors and patients once more.

An example of NHSO’s disbursement problem is that large hospitals, university hospitals have a lot of outstanding debt. Siriraj Hospital has an outstanding balance of 460 million baht. If no action is taken to fix it and pay the money back, the hospital cannot escape. The patient must be denied services that he or she should receive. Especially many medical examinations that are only available in university hospitals.
