The Royal Gazette has published Civil Service Commission Regulation No. 4 B.E. 2569, adding three professional categories eligible for academic-level and senior expert-level position allowances: nutrition and dietetics, emergency medical services, and public health. The inclusion of public health marks a significant advancement for health personnel benefits. The regulation takes effect from October 30, 2026, the day after its Gazette publication. Officials note that receiving the allowance still depends on position type, level, and criteria set by law and the Civil Service Commission, and does not mean all personnel in these fields automatically qualify. The Community Public Health Council (Term 3, 2024-2027) called this another important milestone in advancing professional rights and recognition for Thai public health personnel.
