People joining the scheme receive a gold card which allows them to access services in their health district, and, if necessary, be referred for specialist treatment elsewhere.
| |
| ** The bulk of finance comes from public revenues, with funding allocated to Contracting Units for Primary Care annually on a population basis. According to the WHO, 65% of Thailand's health care expenditure in 2004 came from the government, 35% was from private sources

| Health care
| |
| * Total health care expenditure:
| |
| | |
| * General structure: 3 tiered
| |
| * The low 2 tiers make up rural collective health system that provide most the country's medical care.
| |
| ** barefoot doctors at village medical centers: preventive and primary care services (2/1000 pts)
| |
| ** assistant doctors at outpatient clinics in township health centers (10,000-30,000 pts/center)
| |
| ** senior doctors at county hospitals (3rd and 4th tiers)
| |
| ** paramedical personnels in urban areas in factories and neighborhood health stations
| |
| ** professional care at district hospitals
| |
| - To ensure a higher level of care, a number of state enterprises and government agencies sent their employees directly to district or municipal hospitals, circumventing the paramedical, or barefoot doctor, stage.
| |
| | |
| * Insurance: The New Rural Co-operative Medical Care System (NRCMCS)
| |
| ** is a new 2005 initiative to overhaul the health care system, particularly intended to make it more affordable for the rural poor.
| |
| ** the annual cost of medical cover is 50 yuan (US$7) per person. Of that, 20 yuan is paid in by the central government, 20 yuan by the provincial government and a contribution of 10 yuan is made by the patient.
| |
| ** As of September 2007, around 80% of the whole rural population of China had signed up (about 685 million people).
| |
| ** The system is tiered, depending on the location.
| |
| ** A small hospital or clinic in their local town: the scheme covers 70-80% of their bill.
| |
| ** A county one: about 60%.
| |
| ** Specialist help in a large modern city hospital: about 30%

| |
| Problems:
| |
| * A system that keeps basic wages low, but allows doctors to make money from prescriptions and investigations, leads to perverse incentives and inefficiency at all levels.
| |
| * As in many other countries, to develop systems of health insurance and community financing which will allow coverage for most people is a huge challenge when the population is aging and treatments are becoming more sophisticated and expensive. Several different models (i.e. Basic Health Services Project 1998-2007) have been developed across the country to attempt to address the problems.

| |
| ** At the village level, the integrated Family Health Post provides preventive and promotive services.
| |
| ** These health posts are established and managed by the community with the assistance of health canter staff. To improve maternal and child health, midwives are being deployed to the villages.
