Sister's ID Card Stolen, Used for Fake Prenatal Care

On 19 August 2025, a 23-year-old woman filed a complaint with village authorities in Klonng Khlong District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, reporting that her younger sister, aged 20, had stolen her national ID card. The younger sister used it to fraudulently claim healthcare benefits at multiple hospitals in Kamphaeng Phet and other provinces.
The victim discovered the theft when checking the Doctor Ready app before her own prenatal appointment at a hospital in Kamphaeng Phet, where she is registered to receive healthcare. She found records showing two pregnancy registrations, a miscarriage, and numerous other medical procedures including gallstone surgery—none of which she had actually undergone.
The younger sister had fled home about a year ago with a motorcycle and a bag containing the ID card, and has had no contact with the family since. The victim reported the theft to police at Klongg Khlong Police Station. Officers advised her to contact her sister to stop using the card or to visit the district office for verification, but the victim cannot reach her sister through any means—phone, Facebook, or LINE. She has sent messages asking her to stop, but received no reply.
On 17 August, the Doctor Ready app showed the card being used for prenatal care registration at a hospital in Chachoengsao Province, shocking the victim further. She visited a local hospital in Kamphaeng Phet to request deletion of the fraudulent records. The hospital agreed to remove them from its system, but she cannot travel to hospitals in other provinces to do the same.
The victim has now sought help from village authorities and media, noting that she and her sister look similar and fears doctors may confuse them as the same person. She is puzzled why the old ID card was not automatically deactivated when she obtained a new one, and she is asking her sister to stop using her identity for healthcare claims.
