Parliamentary Inquiry Launched Over 'Ghost' Medical Records in Mor Prom App
Thailand's House Committee on Public Health is investigating reports of inaccurate medical data and potential insurance fraud linked to the government's 'Mor Prom' application.
On August 5, 2026, the House Committee on Public Health, led by Sakoltee Phattiyakul, officially began an inquiry into allegations of fraudulent medical data within the government-run 'Mor Prom' application. The investigation follows complaints from individuals who discovered that their digital health records contained inaccurate information regarding diagnoses, screenings, and medication history. Some victims reported that these discrepancies date back to 2018 and include unauthorized claims for medical expenses and drugs.
Beyond the data inaccuracies, complainants have expressed concerns regarding potential identity theft for insurance billing purposes and have reported receiving threats. For residents and long-term visitors, this situation highlights potential vulnerabilities in the digital health infrastructure. If medical records are compromised or falsified, it could lead to complications regarding personal health history, insurance coverage, or future medical treatments.
Committee Chairman Sakoltee stated that the panel will summon the affected parties to identify the specific hospitals involved and will also request testimony from the Minister of Public Health, Phatthana Phromphat. The Minister has previously committed to a two-week investigation period. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for August 27, 2026, where more clarity is expected. At this stage, it remains to be confirmed which institutions are responsible for the data entries and whether the discrepancies were the result of systemic errors or intentional fraud.
