The Thai government is making strides to ensure that insured persons under Section 33 and Section 39 of the Social Security system have access to free cancer treatment. Mr. Karom Phonphonklang, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, announced that the Social Security Office Ministry of Labor will provide coverage for cancer treatment at no cost until the end of the treatment.
This coverage includes reimbursement for medical expenses related to cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and cancer medicine. The reimbursement is limited to 50,000 baht per patient per year. Patients must adhere to the specified treatment guidelines, but if the treatment cannot be performed according to those guidelines, they can seek reimbursement for necessary medical expenses.
Insured persons under Section 33 and Section 39 are eligible for treatment covering 20 types of cancer, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia, among others. It is clear that the government is prioritizing the well-being of insured persons and aiming to raise the standard of healthcare services.
Mr. Karom emphasized that the government’s goal is to ensure that insured persons can access their medical treatment rights conveniently and quickly. Information about the coverage can be found on the Social Security Office website, www.sso.go.th, and individuals can also contact the office directly for further information or assistance.
The announcement is a significant step towards providing accessible and quality healthcare for insured persons diagnosed with cancer. The government’s commitment to covering a wide range of cancer treatments at no cost demonstrates its dedication to improving the lives of those in need.]
