Policy/Administrative Action Extension of Universal Health Care to Individuals Awaiting Citizenship Verification Procedures and Health Care Enrollment Initiatives for Stateless Students Thailand sets a strong example in the region and globally by providing many migrants and stateless individuals with access to health care, an effort which affirms access to health care as a basic right while also demonstrating the economic and public health benefits of inclusionary policies. THAILAND On March 23, 2010, the Thai cabinet approved a resolution extending access to the state’s universal health care system to individuals who had a pending application for their verification as a Thai citizen.122 Another resolution was issued on April 20, 2015, reinstating the basic rights to public health for a group of approximately 208,631 individuals with legal status and rights problems who had been issued a 13-digit national ID number. Later in September 2020, the Thai cabinet approved 3,000 stateless students holding an eligible ID number to be enrolled in the National Healthcare Fund for Persons with Legal Status Problems.123 Safe Access to Health Care for Unregistered Populations THAILAND In Indonesia, asylum seekers and refugees are provided access to community health centers for medical checkups or to be prescribed simple medicines. Receiving health care services from these centers is generally inexpensive but may require a UNHCR card, depending on the center. State hospitals, on the other hand, can only be accessed via referral and are often cost prohibitive. The International Organization for Migration and UNHCR implementing partners may cover hospital costs if the individual contacts these organizations in advance to arrange for payment. 36 UND OING PRECARIT Y: ELE VATING P OSITIVE PR ACTICES FOR REFU GEE PROTECTION IN SO U TH AND SO U THE AST ASIA
