30-baht health scheme needs a tonicActivists call for a review of the 30-baht health scheme and for improved service. JAKKRAPAN NATHANRIWhen I heard Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul say he would make it possible for members of the Universal Health Care (UC) scheme, better known as the "30 baht scheme", to get treatment anywhere, I was optimistic. I've always appreciated how the government has maintained the UC scheme for Thais, even though our leaders don't understand the principle. I believe health personnel deserve credit for a scheme which has gained recognition all over the world ... but there's still room for improvement. It's time they thought about solutions for those registering for the UC scheme today, so that they can get the treatment they need nearby.
