The healthcare system is created to insure the citizens of that country that when they get sick, they will be treated without money difficulty. Nowadays, crime against healthcare system has been increasingly committed. It causes severe damages to the country's economy and particularly to the health service system both by public and private sectors. Moreover, it directly affected the livelihood of those insured. Besides, the offenders to this crime can be medical professional, healthcare provider, insured and others. In Thailand, there is no particular criminal law against offenses relating to healthcare system. Only few items of the current penal code and some other laws relating to such action maybe considered applicable when such offenses take place. The study shows that the existing laws have limited application for the offence. Certain forms of crime against healthcare system or their punishments are not suitable to the Thai situation. Unlike the laws in the United States where there are more specific provisions in the criminal law of every state. Accordingly, Thailand should initiate the enactment of specific criminal provisions to combat crime against healthcare system. Such enactment should cover the whole range of offences and determine suitable punishment and should be added to the existing penal code. This can make the enforcement of law concerning this matter more efficient and thereby reduce crime against healthcare system.
