  2. Definition of health inequity The International Society for Equity in Health (ISEqH) defined equity in health as “the absence of systematic and potentially remediable differences in one or more aspects of health across populations or population subgroups defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically” Inequity in health or ‘health inequity’ is differences in health that are avoidable, unjust, and unfair (Whitehead 1992).

  3. Objectives • To review current situation in health inequity in Thailand after achieving universal coverage for one decade using documentary review and secondary data analysis, • To develop inputs for consultation among key stakeholders involving in SDH reduction in Thailand • Health System Research Institute (HSRI), • Thai Health Promotion Foundation (THPF), • Social Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University, • Mahidol University, • National Health Commission Office, • SIR-NET, • Ministry of Public Health.

Equity in financial contribution Tax financed scheme, adequate financing of primary healthcare Provider payment method: capitation contract model and global budget + DRG Functioning primary health care at district level, wide geographical coverage of services, referral back up to tertiary care where needed, close-to-client services with minimum traveling cost 1. Long term financial sustainability 2. Technical efficiency, rational use of services at primary health care EFFICIENCY GOALS

Key challenges and unfinished agenda BOD challenges Increased diseases burden from chronic NCD Demographic changes in Thailand Little success in controlling traffic injuries Revitalizing HIV prevention in the light of universal ART Health systems capacity to cope with Increased workload with very strained health workforces Decentralization context –threats and opportunities, don’t’ move fast Public private dialogues, better trust and collaboration Medical tourism and internal brain drains Long term financial sustainability Universal access to renal replacement therapy-heavy fiscal pressure, cost ineffective, >4X GNI per QALY, but adopted due to catastrophic and inequity across 3 schemes Second and third lines ARV Medical technology advancement-main drivers in OECD 30
