Thailand: Enhancing Regional Collaboration & Capacity

Thailand’s National Institute of Health serves as the central public health reference laboratory, playing a key role in prevention and control of infectious diseases. The institute also serves Thailand’s regional medical centers and public health institutions in limited-resource neighboring countries. To address emerging health threats and cross-border spread of disease, NIH aims to strengthen the capacity of national public health laboratories in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar and to enhance its own capacity to become a regional reference laboratory and coordinating center.
