This was announced at the Global Health Security Agenda Steering Group Meeting on November 13 at the office of the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom of Netherlands to the European Union in Brussels, Belgium. “Thailand is the only developing country ranked among the global top ten, as well the first among Asian countries,” Anutin said. “We earned 73.2 points out of 100.

Thainesss Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Neither the OP nor the linked article references the research by John Hopkins University, so I find all this rather suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotMahKid Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Why Thaivisa repeats "news" that was posted here already some time ago? Anyway I think same as another one wrote here some time ago that they mix up Thailand with Taiwan, where also foreigners can get the same insurance. Thailand is only for the Thai's and take a look in the state hospitals and then make up your mind again. Private hospitals where they treat you for a few days and then transport you the a state hospital, because they don't have the specialists for the disease you have.

SanookTeufel Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 What? U.S. is first? Look at how expensive the medical care is here and then try telling me again. I think these results are U.S. sponsored, sure you could argue "health security" has not much to do with the price of medical care but I think you need to factor in both.
