CO EVENT I EABC Luncheon Policy Session 2026: “Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme: Policy Direction, and Way Forward for Sustainable Financing and Patient Access

The Spanish-Thai Chamber of Commerce (SPTCC) is pleased to invite you to support and promote the EABC Luncheon Policy Session 2026: “Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme: Policy Direction, and Way Forward for Sustainable Financing and Patient Access.”

Presented by the EABC Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals Working Group, this important policy session will bring together policymakers and key stakeholders to discuss one of the critical challenges facing Thailand’s healthcare system: how to ensure sustainable healthcare financing while maintaining access to quality treatment for patients.

Thailand is experiencing significant demographic and healthcare shifts, including a rapidly ageing population and a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These developments are placing increasing pressure on public healthcare budgets and raising important questions about the long-term sustainability of current financing models.

The session will explore the policy direction of the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS) and the path towards more sustainable financing solutions that can support both fiscal responsibility and patient access.

Key discussions will include:

• 💡 The future policy direction of the CSMBS

• 💰 Sustainable approaches to healthcare financing

• 🏥 Ensuring continued patient access to essential treatments and services

• 🤝 The role of public-private collaboration in healthcare policy

• 📊 Addressing the financial pressures arising from demographic and epidemiological changes

This luncheon provides a valuable opportunity for the healthcare and business community to exchange perspectives, engage with policymakers, and contribute to the conversation on building a more sustainable healthcare system for Thailand.
