✦ Synopsis

Thailand's public health system is in transition, reflecting the economic status of the country. The decentralized system has made great strides in improving the health of its people. But paradoxes exist. While some urban areas have an oversupply of CTScanners, rural villages still cope with hygiene-related illnesses. Malaria and Yellow Fever no longer dominate health resources. Now AIDS, heart disease and accidents top the problem list. Like other countries, Thailand also struggles with health financing to address the unmet needs.
