Major Hospitals such as Samitivej launched its Virtual Hospital Application, therefore, offering teleconsultation, blood testing, and medicine delivery services.

Growth in Telemedicine Industry: Telemedicine program in Thailand was initiated in March of 2019, a joint effort of the Public Health Ministry and National Broadcasting & Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). According to WHO standards, communities should have 1 doctor for every 439 people, however; there is only 1 doctor for every 2,065 people in Thailand. The country officially implemented telemedicine programs at 32 hospitals in rural areas in 8 provinces with a complete legalization framework, thus, encouraging the adoption of new technologies & remote patient monitoring and medical care. These provinces include Chiang Rai, Kamphaeng Phet, Kanchanaburi, Kalasin, Phetchabun, Surin, Songkhla, and Surat Thani. 32 hospitals involved in the telemedicine program consisted of 15 sub-district health-promoting hospitals, 5 community hospitals, 8 provincial hospitals, and lastly, 4 primary health clusters.


Collaborations & Partnerships: Partnerships of pharmacies with online consultation & E-prescription companies is growing in Thailand, for instance, AIA Thailand partnered with True Digital Group & Samitivej to launch a free-to-use teleconsultation service, as a Virtual COVID-19 Clinic in April 2020 wherein service was made available for use from 8 April to 10 May 2020 in the country. Amidst the COVID pandemic, health care providers observed a shift in consumer behavior, where people are now accepting more digital services such as online / E-consultation, medication delivery & Covid-19 screening services.

Thai hospitals and medical institutions are offering care with digitalized process, AI and big data technology to assist as well as improve medical consultancy, diagnosis and overall services.
