Dreamlopments Calls on Corporate Thailand to Help Close the Migrant Healthcare Gap

Dreamlopments Foundation (DLP) is calling on companies, philanthropists, and institutional partners to help strengthen healthcare access for migrant, stateless, and refugee communities through its M-FUND program.

Thailand has made major progress in extending healthcare coverage to Thai citizens, yet significant gaps remain for migrant populations. According to DLP, more than 2 million migrants and dependents remain without government or private health insurance, despite migrant workers playing an important role in the country’s economy.

Dreamlopments launched the Migrant Fund, or M-FUND, in Mae Sot in 2017 as a not-for-profit health protection scheme for people who may otherwise fall outside conventional government or employer healthcare coverage.

What began as a border pilot has since developed into a regional healthcare network operating across Thailand and into Myanmar and Cambodia.

DLP is also working to extend M-FUND into new countries and regions, with Malaysia expected to be the next program area and a planned launch targeted before the end of 2026.

Individuals and organizations interested in supporting the program can learn more or contribute through the M-FUND Supporter Portal at https://www.dreamlopments.com/donate.

By July 2026, 120,000 migrants had enrolled and benefited from M-FUND, with the scheme covering approximately 200,000 outpatient consultations and 23,000 hospital admissions through 251 healthcare providers.

At the center of M-FUND is a model based on shared responsibility. Members contribute from 130 baht per month toward their own healthcare protection, while external funding, donations, and partnerships help support the wider system and extend coverage to households that are unable to pay their full contributions.

That member contribution is also helping M-FUND move toward greater financial independence. By the end of 2025, contributions from members were already covering 65% of the project’s overall costs, according to Dreamlopments.

The foundation says the aim is not to create a healthcare system permanently dependent on donations, but to develop a sustainable model in which migrant communities increasingly participate in financing their own protection. M-FUND is implemented in collaboration with the Thai government and international organizations, while its network of participating hospitals and clinics provides members with access to covered healthcare services.

Dreamlopments is now seeking additional support from businesses and individuals as it works to strengthen the program and reach more people without reliable healthcare protection.

Companies can support M-FUND through their corporate social responsibility and social-impact initiatives, while individuals and philanthropic partners can make either one-time or recurring monthly contributions.

Supporters can contribute any amount, with 130 baht per month representing the same starting contribution made by migrant M-FUND members themselves.

For Dreamlopments, the appeal is ultimately about turning healthcare access into something more sustainable and inclusive.
