Lampang is a central province of the lower western north, home to people of every age — from extended families to retirees who have chosen to settle here. Organising everyone's hospital information and healthcare entitlements in advance is preparation that genuinely helps on the day of an emergency.

Keep a family health file at home
A simple idea we recommend to every household: gather the health information of every member in one place — each person's healthcare entitlement (universal coverage, social security, or another scheme), the hospital attached to it, regular medication and drug allergies, insurance policy numbers, and the phone number of the agent who looks after them. When something happens, whoever takes them to hospital has everything in a couple of minutes instead of searching for it in the middle of the night.
Documents to carry to the hospital
- Your ID card (the main document for every entitlement)
- Your insurance card or policy number, for private health insurance holders
- A list of regular medication, particularly for older people taking several
- The referral document, if you have been referred from another hospital under your entitlement's process
Notes for policyholders
- Call to check, or notify your insurer and arrange a fax claim, before travelling — particularly for treatment that can be planned in advance, such as a scheduled admission or operation.
- Public hospitals generally accept universal coverage and social security entitlements under each scheme's conditions. For private health insurance, ask your own company in advance about the conditions and the list of network hospitals in Lampang.
- If you have to pay first, always ask for original receipts and a medical certificate stating the diagnosis.
Note: addresses and phone numbers can change. Please call the hospital to confirm before travelling, and contact them by phone or through their Facebook page directly, as public hospitals often do not reply by email.
In short
Lampang Hospital is the province's main facility. With that, a well-organised family health file, and the emergency number 1669 on your phone, your family is ready for whatever health situation comes.
