The mobile health unit of the Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand (PPAT) continued its outreach efforts at Wat Mueang Daeng, Mae Sai Subdistrict, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province, to provide health checkups and reproductive health education to people affected by flooding and landslides. Services were provided to Thai citizens, migrant workers, and ethnic minority groups without discrimination based on nationality, religion, or ethnicity.

The activity was led by Ms. Kornrawee Sanduang, Project Manager, along with the project team and the PPAT Mae Sot team from Tak Province. Services offered included the distribution of contraceptive supplies to prevent unplanned pregnancy, voluntary blood testing, distribution of basic medicines, wound care, STI screening, and reproductive health education, including information on STI prevention and family planning.

The activity was carried out under the project titled “Meeting the Essential SRH Needs of Communities Affected by Floods and Landslides in Northern Thailand”, with funding support from the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
