Project News

This Project started in November 2017, continuing from the CTOP and LTOP Projects since 2007 relating to the aging issues in Thailand.

We have been executing surveys and interviews relating to medical facilities, care facilities, universities and others. A total of almost 50 facilities in Bangkok and 12 provinces, where the primary activities focus on seamless service provision from acute phase to home with established rehabilitation centered on intermediate care. This was done together with Thai counterpart organizations namely: Ministry of Public Health; Ministry of Social Development and Human Security; and National Health Security Office.

Additionally, the Working Team was formed with Thai counterparts and the Project's Japanese Experts to organize and discuss the methods of propelling the Project and selecting the sites, etc. From two Working Team meetings, the specific activity contents and pilot sites were determined by the first Joint Coordination Committee Meeting, held on June 8th 2018.

From now on, the Steering Committee will be organized in each pilot site, and then each Steering Committee will consider and decide each activities and others. Furthermore, we are aiming to contribute in rapidly progressing the aging society of Thailand by conveying rehabilitation medicines, technologies and experiences of Japan smoothly through executing in-country training or seminars by Japanese experts and Training in Japan for middle management level personnel, leading executives of hospital, and policy planners.
