Wellbeing is a major health focus of the government. However, supporting public health in different areas requires different strategies. With services in rural areas lagging behind those in urban ones, the government aims to encourage community care, prevention and education in more remote locations as a pathway to wellbeing. In terms of the overall healthcare economy, the BCG strategy is focused on creating more self-reliance in the manufacturing of medicines, developing new treatment modalities and becoming a center for services and research.
Key Healthcare Goals of the BCG Strategy
MANUFACTURING SELF-RELIANCE
Thailand is the largest importer and exporter of medical devices in ASEAN (by value). The BCG strategy aims to increase medical manufacturing self-reliance through the domestic production of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, affording Thais better access to medical care at more reasonable prices.
