Development Strategies and Policy for Health Workforce Planning using Integrated Models

This project develops an integrated System Dynamics and Agent-Based Modeling framework to analyze long-term challenges and policy options for strengthening Thailand’s health workforce under UHC. By combining 30 years of retrospective data with scenario-based policy experiments, the study aims to provide robust, evidence-informed tools that support sustainable decision-making at national and local levels.

A mixed-methods study that maps the current state of palliative care research in Thailand, analyzes systemic gaps and institutional research collaboration, and develops a prioritized national research agenda through a modified Delphi process to guide future policy and system improvement.

Palliative care in Thailand faces challenges in integrating public and private services, limited financing, and gaps in community and home-based care knowledge. This study reviews evidence, analyzes service models across sectors, and engages stakeholders to propose scalable, effective, and equitable palliative care frameworks tailored to local contexts.
