Health in Thailand information


Seal of Ministry of Public Health of Thailand

Thailand has had "a long and successful history of health development," according to the World Health Organization. Life expectancy is averaged at seventy years. Non-communicable diseases form the major burden of morbidity and mortality, while infectious diseases including malaria and tuberculosis, as well as traffic accidents, are also important public health issues.[1]

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[2] finds that Thailand is fulfilling 91.0% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[3]
