Thai Government Launches 'Caregiver on Mor Prom' Digital ID Initiative
The Thai government has introduced a new digital caregiver system via the Mor Prom platform to assist elderly and vulnerable individuals.
On July 31, 2026, the Thailand Government Public Relations Department announced the launch of the 'Caregiver on Mor Prom' pilot program. This initiative utilizes Digital ID technology to allow designated relatives or caregivers to manage health-related services for elderly and vulnerable individuals. By integrating this system into the existing Mor Prom platform, the government aims to eliminate the previous requirement for shared accounts, streamlining the process for those providing essential care.
For residents and long-term visitors, this development signifies a shift toward more efficient, technology-driven public health management. While the program is currently in its pilot phase, it reflects a broader effort to modernize how caregiving responsibilities are verified and executed within the national health infrastructure.
Several details remain to be confirmed, including the specific scope of services accessible through this caregiver designation and the timeline for a nationwide rollout beyond the pilot stage. Furthermore, the technical requirements for foreign residents to participate in or utilize this Digital ID-linked system have not yet been fully detailed. Those interested in the program should monitor official updates from the Ministry of Public Health or the Mor Prom platform for further instructions on registration and eligibility criteria.
