- W215838908 abstract "The characteristics of a welfare state is largely related to social justice and welfare reforms. This is mainly in the form of legislation, economic transfers and services that help to ensure that all citizens receive a basic economic security and access to services such as health care and nursing. A key factor for this is a country's economy and political will. In Thailand, there was a strong economic growth during the 1970s. The corresponding development in Sweden took place in the mid 1940's. Health and welfare is the main area of collaboration between the Ministry of Health in Thailand and Malardalen University. The aim of this study is from a welfare perspective, a comparison of the similarities and differences in the basic elements of the health care systems in Thailand and Sweden.The study is based on analysis of national policy documents from Thailand and Sweden as well as from United Nations Agency.Both countries emphasize health and welfare from a social rights perspective in constitutions and other laws. E.g. the Thailand Constitution of 2007 states that a person shall enjoy an equal right to receive standard public health service, and the indigent shall have the right to receive free medical treatment from State's infirmary. The Swedish Constitution recognizes that the personal, economic and cultural welfare should be the fundamental goal of public activity through, among other things promote social care and social security, and good conditions for health. In the Swedish Health Care Act of 1982, the goal is a good health and care on equal terms for the entire population.Both Thailand and Sweden have a national system of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which is defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) as ensuring that all people can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.In terms of selected indicators shows for the year 2012 that the Total health expenditure (THE) % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounts in Thailand 4% and 10% in Sweden, general government expenditure on health as % of GDP are 3% resp. 8%, prevention and public health services are 9 resp. 4%, physician density per 1,000 population 0.3 resp. 3.9. The proportion of beds at public/private hospitals are 78/21% resp. 99/1%.The example from the health care system shows that the two countries have legislation that emphasizes health as a social right and a public financing of health care. In terms of specific indicators, there are wide variations in terms of costs to society and the individual including prevention and public health services, access to doctors and proportion of beds in public and private hospitals." @default.
