Under-five mortality rate, female is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn female baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to female age-specific mortality rates of the specified year.; ; Estimates Developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org.; Weighted Average; Given that data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases are frequently unavailable, mortality rates are often used to identify vulnerable populations. Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.

The healthcare sector contributes to Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) greatly, its contribution has been steadily increasing in the past decade. Healthcare coverage in Thailand The majority of the Thai population is covered by the Universal Coverage Scheme, or UCS.

The Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) was a nationally representative sample survey conducted from March through June 1988 to collect data on fertility, family planning, and child and maternal health. A total of 9,045 households and 6,775 ever-married women aged 15 to 49 were interviewed. Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) is carried out by the Institute of Population Studies (IPS) of Chulalongkorn University with the financial support from USAID through the Institute for Resource Development (IRD) at Westinghouse. The Institute of Population Studies was responsible for the overall implementation of the survey including sample design, preparation of field work, data collection and processing, and analysis of data. IPS has made available its personnel and office facilities to the project throughout the project duration. It serves as the headquarters for the survey. The Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) was undertaken for the main purpose of providing data concerning fertility, family planning and maternal and child health to program managers and policy makers to facilitate their evaluation and planning of programs, and to population and health researchers to assist in their efforts to document and analyze the demographic and health situation. It is intended to provide information both on topics for which comparable data is not available from previous nationally representative surveys as well as to update trends with respect to a number of indicators available from previous surveys, in particular the Longitudinal Study of Social Economic and Demographic Change in 1969-73, the Survey of Fertility in Thailand in 1975, the National Survey of Family Planning Practices, Fertility and Mortality in 1979, and the three Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys in 1978/79, 1981 and 1984.

Most of the spending is distributed to civil administration organizations, private businesses, and corporations to boost economic activity. Additionally, most of these expenditures are focused on Bangkok and nearby metropolitan areas, since there is a high concentration of corporations and small-medium enterprises within these regions. Thailand’s healthcare system   The healthcare sector is the*******leading sector with the highest government expenditure, following the education and social work sector. The Ministry of Public Health oversees three central healthcare schemes in Thailand: the civil service welfare sector, social security for private employees, and a universal coverage scheme. Although the healthcare system is diversified for citizens of all socioeconomic statuses, there are still challenges regarding the quality of medical services provided by public hospitals. Patients under these schemes often experience longer waiting times and occasionally subpar medical assistance due to the high number of patients. Hence, a considerable number of individuals opt to pay a higher fee for healthcare services rendered by private hospitals, thereby contributing to the anticipated continuous rise in healthcare expenditure per capita in the country.
