He was brought up in his formative years according to the Royal Thai tradition and ordained as a Buddhist novice like his brothers before receiving his education at Harrow, a re- nowned Public School in England. He then proceeded to Germany to continue his studies in accordance with the wishes of his father who was a close friend of Emperor William II. Prince Mahidol first attended the Royal Prussian Military Preparatory College at Potsdam which also offered courses on humanities and sciences in addition to military science. This liberal education background as well as self-study and sedulous visits to museums during that period together helped to form the intellectual and philo- sophical basis of his attitude and personality. Prince Mahidol subsequently attended the Imperial Military Academy atGross Lichterfelde in Berlin for two more years. He then followed the wishes of His Majesty King Vajiravudh by entering the Nurwik Imperial German Naval Academy at &lensbourg in 1912. In that year, Prince Mahidol was commissioned by His Majesty King Vajiravudh as Lieutenant in the Royal Thai Navy. He was concurrently commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Imperial German Navy. Prince Mahidol completed his naval study but was pre- vented from joining the Imperial German Navy since he was instructed by His Majesty King Vajiravudh to return to Thailand at the outbreak of the &irst World War.

    Prince Mahidol Award Conference 2019 Title: Urban planning as a means to create low risk environments for non-communicable disease (Abstract ID 192) Presentation 2nd February 12.45-13.45 Sub-theme 2: System Approaches to Address the Political Economy of NCDs Authors: Fran Baum1, Toni Delany-Crowe1, Michael McGreevy1, Patrick Harris2, Peter Sainsbury2, Matt Fisher1 1. Southgate Institute for Health, Society and Equity, Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia 2. School of Public Health, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia Background The environments in which we live are strongly influenced by economic, social and political forces. These forces manifest in the built environment and influence the ability of people and communities to access the resources and systems that they need to live healthy and equitable lives and to participate in decisions about the nature of cities. As such, urban planning has considerable potential as a tool to lower non-communicable disease (NCD) risk within populations through use of urban design strategies and practices that are conducive to wellbeing and empowerment. This paper reports findings from research that assessed the extent to which Australian urban planning policies support the creation of healthy, low NCD risk environments through action on the social determinants of health and equity (SDH/E). The paper commences with a brief overview of the links between the features of urban environments and NCD risk, before a description of the research methods and analysis of the policies are presented. Drawing on the existing evidence and the research findings, the discussion then provides an inventory of key considerations that may facilitate urban design and planning in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) to lower NCD risk.

  • Prince Mahidol Award Conference 2019
    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NCDS A WHOLE OF SOCIETY APPROACH | BACKGROUND The Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) is an annual international conference focusing on policy-related health issues. The PMAC 2019 is co-hosted by the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, Mahidol University, the World Health Organization, The World Bank, U.S. Agency for International Development, Japan International Cooperation Agency, The Rockefeller Foundation, with support from other key related partners. The Conference will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 29 January – 3 February 2019. The theme of the conference is “The Political Economy of NCDs: A Whole of Society Approach”. NCDS: CRITICAL HEALTH AGENDA AROUND THE WORLD More than a decade into the 21st century, the health community is grappling with epidemiological and demographic transitions. In this regard, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have overtaken infectious diseases as the leading cause of mortality globally. This shift challenges traditional development thinking, which has long focused primarily on infectious diseases and maternal and child mortality as priorities for international actions. While continuing to combat infectious diseases and maternal and child conditions, the world needs to address the emerging NCD challenges. Besides, it is imperative to explore and analyze why we still make a slow progress in addressing NCDs despite a number of global and national commitments. NCDs, which include cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, are the leading cause of death and a prominent cause of disability worldwide, accounting for more than 36 million lives lost each year and 15 million premature deaths. Moreover, around 70% of the world’s poor now live in low and middle-income countries, where economic growth and modernization have opened wide the entry point for the spread of unhealthy lifestyles.

The Conference will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 28 January – 2 February 2020. The theme of the conference is “Accelerating Progress Towards Universal Health Coverage”. In 2015, the world united around the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, pledging that no one will be left behind and that every human being will have the opportunity to fulfil their potential in dignity and equality. UHC is the aspiration that all people at all ages can obtain the health services they need, of good quality, without suffering financial hardship. Health services cover promotion, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care, and all types of services across the life course. However, recent monitoring indicates though that progress is off-track for achieving stated UHC goals by 2030. Large coverage gaps remain in many parts of the world, in particular for the poor and marginalized segments of the population, as well as in fragile and conflict-affected states.
