Gold Card scheme running large deficits, ministry says
Bangkok Post
|October 17, 2025
The Ministry of Public Health has acknowledged that the universal healthcare system is facing a deepening financial crisis, citing mounting losses under the National Health Security Fund.
Public health permanent secretary Dr Somrerk Jungsaman said the universal healthcare system, or Gold Card scheme, is facing financial instability, as public hospitals continue to shoulder losses from providing services under the scheme.
He revealed that while hospitals under the ministry remain solvent overall — thanks to cross-subsidisation from the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme and the Social Security Fund — the Gold Card scheme alone has run at a deficit, with expenditure reaching 110% of revenue, or 18.47 billion baht in 2024.
