Abstract
The development of economy and society significantly affect to many factors involving national health system including the demographic and population behavior change, the increasing of senior citizen while workforce age is decreasing significantly, the expanding of industry and urbanization, the Inefficient natural resource management causing environment pollution, and the emerging infectious diseases and non-communicable disease causing the increasing of direct and indirect health cost. Consequently, Health system competency evaluation is necessary in formulating effective health policy for Thailand. However, Thailand still does not have an overall health system competency evaluation, while there are only specific aspects health evaluation report such as health systems financing research, health promotion in different age populations and health impact assessment This research is to evaluate overall health system competency by using international organization health impact assessment concept as well as comparing Thailand's health result to other ASEAN countries and the average value of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country in health dimensions consist of health status, health risk factor, service access, healthcare quality and health resource. We are hoping that this research would be useful in health policy making level. Health executive boards at every level can manage their health resource and compare results at provincial, regional, national and international levels.
