Thailand’s UHC system improves equity but still faces low effective coverage, access gaps, and hospital overcrowding. The Phase 3 evaluation of the “One ID Card” policy shows improved access through innovative units, with remaining challenges in data integration, decentralization oversight, and communication. Findings inform stronger primary care, governance, and system resilience.

This project evaluates healthcare costs in the last stage of life among the Thai population, using national claim datasets. It measures service utilization, cost patterns, disease burden, and cost trajectories in the final 24 months of life to inform policy and improve end-of-life care efficiency and equity.
