Project Significance and Health Issues Involved
The local area health-care has been planned. The programs were implemented under the authority of provincial board consisting of representatives from the local government, communities, and the Ministry of Health.
This is especially crucial for disadvantaged groups like the Chiang Mai Hill-Tribesand other low-income communities.
This involves providing incentives, skills and strategies to community members to enable their effective participation in designing and implementing new autonomous health care and social service systems that meet local needs.
