On 22 August 2025, Mr. Wittaya Chanchalong, Assistant Director of Thai Red Cross Chapters Administration Office, along with representatives from organizations supporting the Vaccines and Medicines for Vulnerable Groups along the Thai – Myanmar Border Project, including the Japanese Red Cross Society, ICRC, and IFRC visited Mae Sot District, Tak Province. The purpose of the visit was to monitor and observe the administration of vaccines to vulnerable Thai and non-Thai populations at Tak Special Education Center and New Wave Learning Centre for migrant children. These vaccine administration activities were supported by the Ministry of Public Health, in collaboration with Tak Provincial Public Health Office and Mae Sot Hospital.
Thai Red Cross Society received project funding from the Japanese Red Cross Society, ICRC, IFRC, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to implement the Vaccines and Medicines for Vulnerable Groups along the Thai – Myanmar Border Project. In May 2025, the project delivered vaccines and serums valued at 6,278,050 Baht to the Border Health Learning Center under the Ministry of Public Health at Mae Sot Hospital, Tak Province. These supplies are used to provide vaccines and serums for vulnerable Thai and non-Thai populations in Thai border areas with limited access to healthcare. The goal is to reduce the spread and severity of infectious diseases, as well as easing the budgetary burden on public health agencies in the border areas.
