Data were collected by using a questionnaire. A total of 1,022 response data were obtained. Administrative factors were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation was analyzed by multiple regression analysis (MRA) methods.</p> <p>              The results showed that the administrative factors which consisted of personnel, finance, supporting, and management factors had overall average readiness at a high level (x̄ = 3.34, S.D. = 0.27). Except budget sufficiency was at a low level (x̄ = 2.43, S.D. = 0.43). All factors were significantly related to the mortality rate, as follows: management factor (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> = 0.433), personnel factor (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> = 0.231), supporting factor (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> = 0.092) and financial factor (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> = 0.035). Therefore, Thai Ministry of Public Health should provide adequate support for administrative factors especially in terms of management, personnel, and budget sufficiency.</p>}, number={3}, journal={European Journal of Applied Sciences}, author={Vichairuangthum, Kitigon}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={156–167} }
