Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Minister Anudith Nakornthap announced the plan on Monday when inaugurating a seminar on "Smart Thailand: Modern Public Services through High Speed Internet", in which executives and senior officials of all ministries and government agencies took part.
Group Captain Anudith said the new Pheu Thai Party-led administration will utilise high-speed Internet to upgrade and modernise public services, targeting to cover some 80-85 per cent of the country in due course.
Anudith said the e-public services mainly include those facilitating district offices' workloads on issuing identity cards for Thai nationals, household registrations and population censuses, as well as e-education, e-health and e-agriculture services.
The public can initially access the government's e-public services within one year, he said.
The new ICT minister said his ministry will work together with all relevant agencies to develop a common public database needed for launching the e-services for people in all Thai regions, noting that provinces where the e-public services will be implemented as pilot projects will be designated over the next couple of months.
Once the e-public services are launched, people can access public health services in their respective area through high-speed online programs, obviating the need for those in remote areas to travel to hospitals located far away, he added.
