23 รายงานผลการประเมินสถานการณ์ ด้านสิทธิมนุษยชนของประเทศไทย ปี ๒๕๖๒ As for the rights to health, the NHRC has suggested to accelerate the development of primary care systems so that people, particularly those living in remote areas, can access public health and medical services more conveniently and thoroughly.
