Enhancing Leadership in Global Health-Thailand

“Global health” reflects a paradigm shift in terms of how public health priorities and their potential solutions are conceptualized. The global, interconnected and interdependent nature of many pressing health priorities around the world calls for health collaboration across national boundaries and solutions that cut across multiple sectors and domains. Thailand’s contribution to global health has been unequivocal and is growing. The CCS–EnLIGHT aims to promote demonstrated collective leadership and contributions of Thailand to global health. This translates the country’s continued effort to improve health within and beyond its frontiers. WHO remains the main actor in global governance for health, as the one and only intergovernmental agency designated for health
