Thailand enhances migrant healthcare

The partnership focuses on promoting migrants’ access to healthcare services

Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health (MOZPH) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to promote the inclusion of migrants in national health systems and policies.

In over two decades, the partnership has grown to cover IOM’s health assessment work for populations moving to third countries and activities aimed at facilitating access to quality health services for migrants in Thailand.

“This MoU marks our continued collaboration in providing healthcare services to migrants living and working in Thailand and building their confidence in the Thai health system,” Opart Karnkawinpong, permanent secretary at MoPHm, said.

“I am confident that our efforts will benefit not only the migrants but also the national public health, protecting the society as a whole,” Karnkawinpong added.

The initiative is in line with the 20-year National Public Health Plan from 2017-2036, placing emphasis on migrants’ access to healthcare.
