We are excited to invite you to an exclusive event exploring Thailand’s 30-Baht Universal Healthcare Plan and its potential to strengthen healthcare systems in the Philippines. This gathering brings together thought leaders, policymakers, and healthcare innovators to discuss lessons from Thailand’s UHC success and actionable strategies to address shared challenges in the region.
Given the recent decision by the United States to reduce funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is critical to consider the potential impacts on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programs in countries like the Philippines and Thailand. This event will delve into how both nations can navigate these challenges while continuing to advance sustainable and equitable healthcare systems.
