Visit by Delegation from Ministry of Health, Chhattisgarh State, India to Learn about UHC Implementation and Challenges in Thailand

In January 2019, the Minister of Health from Chhattisgarh state, India, reached out to International Health Policy Program (IHPP), a semi-autonomous research program in Thailand, to learn about the Thai experience of implementing Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The minister requested to meet with senior Thai experts to discuss and understand the healthcare system in Thailand. This request was shared by IHPP with the National Health Security Office (NHSO) and the Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) to facilitate and support the visit.

Chhattisgarh state had a change of government in late 2018. The Minister and his team were therefore keen to learn from the Thai experience in this early phase of a new political term, to inform planning for Chhattisgarh healthcare over the coming five years.
