Bone marrow transplants offered free under SSOSocial security subscribers diagnosed with cancer who require stem cell or bone marrow transplants can now access treatment free of charge, says Labour Minister Treenuch Thienthong. Eligible insured workers must meet the criteria set by the Social Security Office (SSO) and submit applications at any social security office in Bangkok or provincial branches nationwide. Once approved, patients will be referred to contracted hospitals for treatment without expenses. She added a total of 191 insured patients were approved for this treatment last year, with total costs exceeding 111.35 million baht. The SSO has agreements with 13 hospitals, including Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital, Siriraj Hospital and Phramongkutklao Hospital, to provide specialised care to this group of patients.
