The chairman of the National Health Commission explains the case of the former president of the Medical Council who submitted a letter to the prime minister. Please review the 37 billion baht 10-year doctor production project, emphasizing that it will not only produce “doctors” but a 9-profession healthcare team, focusing on selecting people in the area to study and return to work in the system of primary care. Address the problem of manpower distribution in shortage areas Confirm that teaching and learning are standardized. I have restored a team of quality doctors to care for the people in the area.
From the case of Dr. Amnat Kusalanun, former Chairman of the Medical Council Write a letter to the Prime Minister To request a delay and review of the project to produce more doctors than usual after the Indigo War, it was decided to approve the project budget of 37,234, 48 million baht, citing a survey that currently has a sufficient number of doctors. But they are concentrated in Bangkok and surrounding areas, and fear that increased production could cause a deterioration in quality. It is proposed to increase incentives to reduce the turnover of public sector doctors.
On April 21, Special Professor Dr. Wichai Thianthaworn, president of the Praboromarajchanok Institute (SBPC), of the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), said that the government resolution was not exclusively about the production of doctors. But it is a project to train doctors and healthcare innovation teams for family medicine. Respond to the primary healthcare system across Thailand over a 10-year period from 2025 to 2034, focusing on developing the primary care service system, producing medical, nursing and public health personnel. To take care of the health of the local population This will help people have comprehensive access to health services, including 9 professional fields, including family medicine doctors. professional nurse Public health academic Nurse assistant Public health assistant, dentist, pharmacist, emergency medicine technician and traditional Thai medicine Once the project period is completed, it will be able to produce 62,000 medical personnel.
«Although the current situation of the shortage of doctors is not as serious as in the past. But having more doctors is good in terms of increasing public services. Regarding the problem of distribution of doctors The areas that are still lacking are areas where few people want to live. Notably, there are only 2,043 family medicine physicians in the primary care system, equating to a physician-to-population ratio of 3.11 per 100,000. Therefore, additional production must be promoted and managed for adequate distribution. The project produces family medicine doctors and healthcare innovation teams. It will select people from the area or bring in staff working in the area to study further. and I returned to work in the local primary care unit. There is a precise supply and distribution of personnel from each profession in the primary care system,” said Special Prof. Dr. Wichai.

The project for the training of family doctors and health innovation teams is also consistent with the strategic plan for public health personnel. which aims to reduce inequalities Ensuring that people enjoy good health, quality of life and live long, this is an action compliant with Article 258 B of the Constitution, other aspects (5), which require that there is a system GP with family doctors take care of people in an appropriate proportion. It responds to the Government’s policy on medical hubs and the Prime Minister’s policy on the healthcare system for Thais and Thailand. Also in line with the objective of increasing the ratio between doctors and citizens to bring it closer or equivalent to international standards. Currently, Thailand has 1:1,305 doctors per population, compared to Singapore 1:411, Malaysia 1:448 and Vietnam 1:1,204.
If the number of doctors per population is to reach 1:650 people from the current production capacity of 3,386 doctors per year, the goal can be achieved in 2037. Therefore, medical graduates must continue to be produced within of the Thai production of More Progetto Medici. With the cooperation of the Faculty of Medicine of the Ministry of Higher Education and hospitals of the Ministry of Public Health Including the production of doctors from the Faculty of Medicine of Bangkok, the Ministry of Defense and the private sector.
