The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to install telecom networks in sub-district hospitals in border areas, with a budget of up to 3.8 billion baht under its Universal Service Obligation (USO) scheme.
The regulator originally planned to spend 3.8 billion baht to develop a telehealth project. However, the NBTC board recently voted 4:3 to scrap that project because it is not in line with the budget objectives under the USO framework.
