Uttaradit is the gateway between the lower and upper north, and many families here have members working across several provinces. Organising hospital information and healthcare entitlements into a system means that wherever everyone is, they can look after each other when something happens.

Make an annual family health review
Besides the annual physical check-up, we recommend reviewing the system once a year too. It takes an hour and keeps you ready all year.
- Check what healthcare entitlement each member has and whether the registered service unit matches the area — especially for anyone who has recently changed jobs or moved.
- Update the hospital's number and the emergency number 1669 on every phone in the household.
- Review every insurance policy: premium due dates, beneficiary names, and the agent's phone number.
- Update each person's file of regular medication and drug allergies.
Notes for policyholders
- Before travelling to hospital, call to check or notify your insurer and arrange a fax claim in advance; it greatly reduces the steps on the day.
- Public hospitals generally accept universal coverage and social security entitlements under each scheme's conditions. For private health insurance, ask your own company first about the conditions and its network hospitals in Uttaradit.
- Family members working in other provinces should also know their parents' entitlements and policy details, in case they are the ones coordinating in an emergency.
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
A family's readiness on health does not come from luck; it comes from a small system reviewed regularly. Know the main hospital's number, be clear about entitlements, keep the documents complete — and remember that in a critical emergency you can call 1669 or go to the nearest hospital under the UCEP policy.
