It will cover the cost of Covid-19 services in hospitals without interrupting other essential health services under the Universal Health Coverage System. Part of the approved fund would answer the increasing need for Covid-19 screening tests after the highly contagious UK strain was discovered in Thailand.<\/p>\n

The government fund obtained by the NHSO will cover RT-PCR, Antigen and Antibody tests and will also cover the cost of running negative pressure rooms (THB2,500\/case\/day,) field hospitals (THB1,500\/case\/day.)<\/p>\n

NHSO will reimburse the fees directly to hospital operators, who can now claim costs for Covid-19 treatment every two weeks.<\/p>\n
