Abstract

This academic article aims to study the healthcare rights of government officials and the general public in Thailand, focusing on the analysis of inequalities arising from disparities in the healthcare system. These include the Civil Servant Medical Welfare Scheme, the Social Security Scheme, and the Universal Health Coverage Scheme, each with different benefits and eligibility criteria for accessing services. These systems have distinct objectives and unequal budget allocations, leading to disparities in service provision, benefits, and access to medical care. This article will compare the use of rights across each system and analyze whether these disparities violate the principle of equality under the Constitution, while proposing solutions to address these inequalities and ensure equal and non-discriminatory healthcare services for all citizens.
