Our ways of life are sustainable and nature friendly and these traditions and practices have been taught and passed on from one generation to the next. But now because of State policies and waves of modernisation we are struggling to preserve and maintain our traditional ways of life” Mr. Joni Odochao, Intellectual, Karen ethnic, Opening Speech at the Indigenous Peoples Day Festival in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand 2007 Introduction on Indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in Thailand 1 The coalition was established as a loose network at the Workshop Programme on 5th July 2012 on the Shadow Report on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) organised by the Ethnic Studies and Development Center, Sociology Faculty, Chiangmai University in cooperation with Cross Cultural Foundation and the Highland Peoples Taskforce 1 2. The Network of Indigenous Peoples in Thailand2, in the International Working Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) yearbook on 2008, explained the background of indigenous peoples in Thailand. The indigenous people of Thailand are most commonly referred to as “hill tribes”, sometimes as “ethnic minorities”, and the ten officially recognised ethnic groups are usually called “chao khao” (meaning “hill/mountain people” or “highlanders”). These and other indigenous people live in the North and North-western parts of the country. A few other indigenous groups live in the North-east and indigenous fishing communities and a small population of hunter-gatherers inhabit the South of Thailand.

National helminthiasis surveys report only the incidence of Taenia spp. eggs. The ability to differentiate Taenia species using morphological and molecular techniques is vital for epidemiological surveys. This study detected taeniasis carriers and other helminthic infections by Kato’s thick smear technique and identified the Taenia species by multiplex PCR. The study subjects were the ethnic Karen people in Tha Song Yang District, Tak Province, Thailand, bordering Myanmar. In total, 983 faecal samples from villagers were examined for helminthiases.

The purpose of this study is to assess the 16 association between insurance affiliations and health status of stateless children in terms of 17 incidence of pneumonia compared to Thai children with the universal coverage scheme 18 (UCS), and the uninsured children. 19 Design/methodology/approach 20 The study used medical records of children aged 0-15 years who were admitted to four 21 selected district hospitals in Tak Province from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017. 22 Multivariate logistic regression was applied with binary outcome data (pneumonia: yes/no). 23 Exposure was three types of insurance while covariates were the age, sex, and domicile of the 24 children. 25 Findings 26 Of 8,167 hospitalized children between 2013 and 2017, 1,668 were identified who were 27 diagnosed with pneumonia. The risk of pneumonia was 1.7% higher in the stateless children 28 than in the uninsured children (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.017, 95% confidence interval 29 [CI]=[0.527,2.080];p= 0.960). The risk of pneumonia was 13.2% higher in the UCS children 30 than in the uninsured children (AOR=1.132,95% CI=[0.613,2.233];p =0.706).

This study aimed to describe and identify possible factors driving the spatiotemporal trends of disease incidence from 2012 to 2015. Methods: Climate variables and forest cover were correlated with malaria incidence using Pearson’s r. Statistically signifcant clusters of high (hot spots) and low (cold spots) annual parasite incidence per 1000 population (API) were identifed using Getis‑Ord Gi* statistic. Results: The total number of confrmed cases declined by 76% from 2012 to 2015 (Plasmodium falciparum by 81%, Plasmodium vivax by 73%). Incidence was highly seasonal with two main annual peaks. Most cases were male (62.75%), 15 years (56.07%), and of Myanmar (56.64%) or Thai (39.25%) nationality. Median temperature (1‑ and 2‑month lags),≥ average temperature (1‑ and 2‑month lags) and average relative humidity (2‑ and 3‑month lags) cor‑ related positively with monthly total, P. falciparum and P. vivax API.

  • Introduction of Sponsorship from 2008 to 2009
    Introduction of Sponsorship for HEP and BEP Tak Border Child Assistance Foundation (TBCAF) INTRODUCTION OF SPONSORSHIP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION PROJECT (HEP) AND BASIC EDUCATION PROJECT (BEP) 1. WHY SPONSORSHIP BY TBCAF? The target area of TBCAF to offer service is in Tak province, including five border districts: Tha Song Yang District, Mae Ramat District, Mae Sot District, Pop Pra Distract, and Umphang District. Target groups that TBCAF emphasizes are children from low-income family, working family, neglected and vulnerable children who have less access to basic and high education. Within TBCAF’s Sponsorship for HEP and BEP in one year, from May 2008 to April 2009, there are two main parts of this project: (1) Sponsorship for students to complete high school or college (2) Sponsorship for branch schools in remote villages. From May 2008 to April 2009, TBCAF will launch Sponsorship for HEP and BEP stepwise and achieve whole activities within the sponsorship. Sponsorship review, reporting will be done every 6 months. Monitoring will be conducted by coordinator and field staff once per 3 months. Two reviewing reports will be submitted to the board of TBCAF and two newsletters will be sent to all the sponsors. 2. INTRODUCTION OF WHAT TBCAF SUPPORTS IN SPONSORSHIP l Support Remote Branch School (Sponsorship for BEP) Teachers are on the frontline to face and teach students in school. Definitely the quality of school education must be relevant to amount of teachers, floating rate of teachers and other aspects.
