This is a Health care program in which either migrants or employers pay USD 20 for health care check-ups, USD 1 for co-payment for hospital visits and USD 43 for a one-year health insurance. This is the same benefit package as for Thai nationals that includes disease prevention, health promotion, work related disabilities, low-cost in- and out- patient hospital care, accident and emergency. The anti-viral drugs, to prevent mother to child or mother to fetus infections are also available. The program combats illegal migration by registering undocumented migrants and for providing a pathway to semi-legal and legal status.
