The government should support the smart hospital scheme backed by 5G infrastructure as it could help ease people's expenses and save the state budget, according to the former chief of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
Takorn Tantasith, former secretary-general of the NBTC, said the country is earmarking around 100 billion baht a year for public healthcare expenses and the amount keeps increasing as Thailand became a fully aged society in 2021.
