Mass Media 46 - 2 - INTRODUCTION This report is based on information obtained from interviews with staff members of various health and family planning pilot projects as well as project proposals and other project documents. A great many people were most help­ ful in giving of their time to describe projects in which they are involved and to provide written materials about them. The Division of Health Planning in particular has been of great assistance in providing information both about individual projects and about the rural health sector in general. The report has attempted to present the information on all projects fairly; however, since most of it was received via word of mouth, it is possible that some statements may be inaccurate. Given the number of projects covered, minor inaccuracies about individual projects probably do not alter the broad generalizations significantly. The report is divided into three major sections. The first section describes the existing rural health services in Thailand, including national targets for development of the rural health infrastructure, financial and personnel constraints to meeting these targets, and a word on the private sector. The second section draws some conclusions as to the factors which should be considered before implementing any kind of project to expand services to rural areas, based on the experiences of the projects covered. The third section describes the ongoing and recently completed pilot projects to expand rural health and family planning services in Thailand, by broad classification of methods employed. Some generalizations are then made about important factors to be considered in utilizing each method, some typical costs involved, and possible impact. There is no one kind of project which provides the panacea for all rural Thailand's health problems, nor is there any one kind of project which is will probably be effective in all areas, without some modifications. Rather, combinations of various types of projects are more appropriate, the particular combinations depending on local conditions, such as village structure and ethnic background of villagers, quality of the network of transportation and communications, staff and infrastructure constraints of the rural health service, available financial resources, and special health problems of the area. -3- If there is one message which runs throughout this report, it is the importance of the midwives and sanitarians working at the tambon level health centers. These are key personnel in almost every health project, if not directly in providing services then at least to lay the groundwork or provide follow-up. Projects cannot by-pass the tambon level health workers without setting up a duplicate structure at a high cost. Therefore the success of any project depends on the effectiveness of the bealth workers. First priority should be given to increasing their effectiveness through such means as improved supervision, retraining and motivational techniques. There are some ongoing pilot projects not researched for this report. For example, the Soong-Nern Project, the mobile family planning clinic of McCormick Hospital in Chiang Mai, and the parasite disease control prcject of Nakorn Sri Thammarat are among those not covereed. The attempt was made, however, to study as many projects as possible within each category of methods used, so that the generaliza­ tions made would apply to those projects not covered as well. Details of individual projects were written separately and are not included in the main body of this report, in order to minimize its length. There is some terminology, not always consistent in English, which should be clarified here.Throughout the report, "health worker" will refer to goveriunent midwives and sanitarians. "Midwife" always means government midwife. Indigenous midwives are so specified. Province refers to the Changwat, district to the amphur, village to the muban. The terms "first class health center" and "second class health center" are consistently used, although these terms are now being replaced by "Primary Medical and Health Sub-Center" and "Secondary Medical and Health Sub-Center". Finally, the initials FP and MCH ara often used to signify family planning and maternal and child health, respectively. - 4 - Existing Rural Health Services in Thailand The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) provides the bulk of the government's rural health services. For FY 1975, the MOPH has appropriations of 1,547.4 million baht, about the same percentage of the total RTG budget that it has received for the last eight years (three percent). The total alloca­ tion to the provincial health service, including operating and capital costs, amounts to about 89 percent of the total budget. There are as yet no indications that rural health will become a higher priority of the Thai government in the next few years, although all of the political parties elected recently included rural health on their party platforms. In fact, some members of the Country Health Programming Team (WHO Assessment Team) voiced concern that the poor in municipa­ lities have been neglected in the past and that they should receive top priority in the future. Since 1971 the budget of the MOPH has fallen in real terms despite slight increases in money terms so that the real increase in the 1975 budget of close of fifteen percent leaves the Ministry at about the same position it was in during 1971. This means that staff increases and higher levels of construction can only be financed at the expense of other programs, by consolidation of programs, or by more efficient operation. In 1975, several of the specialized programs registered real declines, disease control, school health, and maternal and child health among them. On the other hand, 18,220,000 baht have been appropriated as counter­ part fund for health projects, including 13 million baht for "medical volunteers". In terms of how the budget is allocated to the provinces, Table I may provide some insights. Table I compares provincial ability to pay for its own health services with MOPH expenditures and non-MOPH health expenditures, per capitized. MOPH expendi­ tures are further separated into expenditures on improvement of provincial hospitals (capital costs) and expenditures on provincial and district health administration plus improvement and expansion of health centers. While the latter includes both operating costs and construction costs, it is impossible to separate the two because provinces have mixed them in their reporting. The

  • Industrial Dispersion in Thailand with Changes in Trade Policies
    International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2014, 4(7): 806-819 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 journal homepage: http://www.aessweb.com/journals/5007 INDUSTRIAL DISPERSION IN THAILAND WITH CHANGES IN TRADE POLICIES Kenji Nozaki Faculty of Economics and Management, Surugadai University, Hanno-City, Saitama, Japan ABSTRACT Thailand, which is an industrial core of the GMS, hosts various industries. An understanding of current location of industry in Thailand is important in planning the future industrial network. In particular, as economic linkage within the GMS is becoming stronger, changes of industrial location with trade liberalization are an important correlation. Krugman and Elizondo (1996) provided a theoretical model for this relation. The present author conducted an empirical survey to determine whether industrial location in Thailand conforms to the Krugman and Elizondo’s model. This empirical study uses data on manufacturing of gross provincial product. The proportion of manufacturing within each province, and the Herfindahl index deriving from the proportion, were used. The result is that industrial location of Thailand conforms to Krugman and Elizondo’s model. During the period of import substitution, Bangkok grew to a large metropolis and gradually expanded into neighboring provinces, with escalating congestion costs. After an export oriented policy was implemented, the industries started to disperse, and some provinces became new industrial cores, with ports. In considering the extension of industries to neighboring countries, it appears that promoted investment projects, which could be leading indicators of future production, do not guarantee an increase of production in border provinces, at least in the middle term.

  • Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 7 (5): 698-701, 2010 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2010Science Publications Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure Patomsok Wilaipon Department Mechanical Engineering, Faculty Engineering, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand 65000 Abstract: Problem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk is left in the field after harvest. This study was aimed to investigate the quantity of cassava stalk in this province and to study cassava stalk briquette production. Approach: The potential energy from cassava stalk was calculated based on the productivity, residue-to-product ratio, residue returned to soil ratio and its heating value. Besides, the effects of moderate-range compression pressure, 70-110 bar, and the binder ratio, 10-20%, on briquette density were investigated. An empirical model was also developed and validated. Results: Base on the estimation, the quantity of usable cassava stalk in this area was approximately 18 kton year−1. The heating value of cassava stalk was found to be 16.39 MJ kg−1. Therefore, the total energy over 289 TJ year−1 can be obtained from this agricultural waste. According to the experiment, briquette density was in the range of 0.40-0.77 g cm−3. The coefficient of multiple determination for prediction of the proposed model was about 94.7%.
