Thailand Tightens Control on Private Hospitals to Combat Soaring Medical Expenses
Thailand's Internal Trade Department is demanding transparency and cooperation from over 300 private medical institutions to bring down the cost of living for citizens. Private hospitals are now mandated to prominently display clear QR codes for drug prices and service rates, and citizens can lodge complaints through a dedicated hotline. The department is also scrutinizing the purchase and sales prices of 200 crucial drugs, medical supplies, and service charges linked to medical care.
