Ministry of Public Health Join Forces with True Corporation in National Strategic Collaboration, Accelerating Thailand’s Healthcare Transformation through AI and Intelligent Digital Infrastructure
The collaboration leverages 5G network innovation and AI technology to elevate proactive healthcare standards via the “Mohpromt Super App” through three core pillars including 1) Promoting proactive health through the “Healthy Life” campaign, accumulating ‘Mohpromt Credits’—earned through walking—which can be redeemed for exclusive privileges and benefits from True. 2) Bridging the digital divide and enhancing equal access to healthcare services via the “Mohpromt Super App”, with free data access provided to True and dtac customers nationwide for one year. 3) Enhancing potential and the digital capabilities of Ministry of Public Health personnel. The partnership leads to position Thailand as a global hub for health innovation.
Mr. Pattana Promphat, Minister of Public Health, said “The Ministry of Public Health is committed to establishing Digital Health Security for all Thais. Collaborating with high potential private sector partners is key to transcending limitations in development and truly elevating the public’s quality of life. We focus on three strategic priorities: 1. Ensuring that access to essential digital health services is a fundamental right with no hidden costs, thereby sustainably bridging the digital divide, 2. Utilizing health data under public consent for analytics to design personalized wellness guidelines, empowering people with proactive health insights before illness occurs, and 3. Comprehensive workforce development across all levels, including Village Health Volunteers (VHV) and frontline officers, to ensure they are fully equipped to guide the public in utilizing health technologies effectively.”
Dr. Somlerk Jeungsmarn, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health said “The collaboration with True Corporation as a private sector with expertise in communication technology will drive a significant transformation across three dimensions of the health system including shifting the focus from reactive treatment to proactive prevention and transition existing personnel into a high-performance workforce while removing cost barriers to create equal access for all Thais. To achieve these goals the Ministry will encourage its personnel in utilizing digital technologies for public services such as the exchange of specialized knowledge and expert speakers to enhance digital literacy and build a foundational understanding of data analytics and cybersecurity. Furthermore, the cooperation includes benefits regarding communication services, internet connectivity and devices. Throughout this offering, the Ministry of Public Health will maintain full authority in supervising and managing the database system on Mohpromt platform. All operations will be conducted under the strict principles of personal data protection and data security in full compliance with relevant laws.”
Dr. Teeradet Dumrongbhalasitr, Chief Business Officer, True Corporation Plc., said “True Corporation is honored to be entrusted by the Ministry of Public Health as a strategic partner in developing the digital health service system and driving the full-scale digital transformation of Thailand’s public health sector. This collaboration underscores our strength as Thailand’s leading Telecom-Tech company. True will leverage our robust telecommunications infrastructure and digital service capabilities, integrating technology and expertise to foster innovation in the Ministry’s digital healthcare system—with the ‘Mohpromt Super App,’ currently serving approximately 26 million users, as the centralized digital health hub.
Furthermore, we will further this collaboration to build a complete healthcare ecosystem that seamlessly integrates data, people, and technology. By combining the intelligence of our digital infrastructure with AI-driven insights, we enable the systematic integration of health data. We are also dedicated to upskilling and enhancing the digital capabilities of Ministry personnel to propel their digital health strategy, aiming to establish Thailand as a regional hub for health innovation and ensure a sustainable, better quality of life for all Thais.”
Mr. Sharad Mehrotra, Chief Consumer Business Officer, True Corporation Plc., added on the benefits “This collaboration reinforces True’s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance the quality of life for Thai people. We believe that good health begins with access to information and services without limitations. True is therefore ready to support the use of the ‘Mohpromt’ application by allowing True and dtac customers nationwide to use the app without data charges for one year, helping reduce inequality and promote access to public healthcare services. In addition, to encourage proactive healthcare, True is supporting Healthy Life activities that make exercise more enjoyable and aligned with modern lifestyles. As part of this, we are driving the ‘Health Life’ campaign, where people can redeem special privileges from True using ‘Mohpromt credits’ earned from walking, such as discounts on 5G smartphones or beverages at TrueCoffee. We sincerely hope this initiative will serve as another key driver in encouraging Thai people to achieve better health in a tangible way.”
Strategic collaboration in three core pillars to transform healthcare services for all Thai people
Under this Memorandum of Understanding for driving the digital health system and enhancing healthcare personnel potential to elevate public health services, the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Public Health and True Corporation will collaboratively drive digital health policies into tangible action in three core pillars including
- Supporting the ‘Health Life’ campaign on the Mohpromt Super App to encourage consistent exercise among Thais. This marks a pivotal shift toward proactive healthcare, allowing users to accumulate steps and utilize ‘Mohpromt Credits’ to redeem discounts of up to 1,500 Baht on 5G smartphones or receive beverage discounts at TrueCoffee, subject to the company’s terms and conditions.
- Promoting equal access to healthcare services via the Mohpromt Super App by providing True and dtac customers nationwide with free data access for the application for one year (from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027). This initiative ensures that Thai people can access medical services, personal health data, and various benefits with maximum convenience and seamless connectivity.
- Empowering the workforce and enhancing the digital capabilities of Ministry of Public Health personnel by fostering the use of digital technologies for efficient public service delivery. This involves equipping staff with specialized knowledge through expert exchanges and elevating digital literacy, with a focus on core competencies such as data analytics and cybersecurity. Furthermore, this collaboration also includes special offers on communication services, high-speed internet, and devices to facilitate seamless coordination as well as reduce costs and bolster administrative efficiency, enabling agile and continuous command and control through integrated digital systems.
This strategic partnership between the Ministry of Public Health and True Corporation marks a significant turning point in transforming Thailand’s public health infrastructure into a fully digital era. This collaboration initiates a fundamental transformation for the nation, creating impact in not only application development, but establishing a new benchmark for integrating AI technology and empowering “human capital” to address public health challenges on a macro scale. In parallel, this initiative propels Thailand toward becoming a “Smart Nation,” bridging the digital health divide, alleviating the workload of medical professionals, and encouraging people to become proactive “self-care advocates.” The ultimate result is a profound positive impact including robust health security, an enhanced quality of life for all Thais, and an elevated national healthcare system that paves the way for a truly sustainable healthy society.
