Critical Cross-Country Indicators Critical Cross-Country Indicators on Thailand (as of January 2009) Laws & Pollicies Affecting Women's Reproductive Lives The Thai constitution guarantees the equal rights of all persons to basic public health services, and the right of low-income individuals to free medical treatment from public health facilities, as provided by law. It obligates the state to provide public health services thoroughly and efficiently; promote the participation of local government and the private sector in service delivery as much as possible; and prevent and eradicate harmful contagious diseases for the public free of charge, as provided by law.
