Thailand has had "a long and successful history of health development," according to the World Health Organization. Life expectancy is averaged at seventy years. Non-communicable diseases form the major burden of morbidity and mortality, while infectious diseases including malaria and tuberculosis, as well as traffic accidents, are also important public health issues.[1]
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[2] finds that Thailand is fulfilling 91.0% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[3]
