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. The NHRC also recommends the state to eliminate barriers
to access to public health services among stateless students whose identification number begins with

the letter G and traditional people whose names are on the civil registration but without Thai citizenship;
to adopt preventive measures to deal with adolescent pregnancy problems; to immediately implement
short-term measures to reduce PM 2.5 pollution; and to consider the NHRC’s recommendations on the
