TB Policy in Thailand: A Civil Society Perspective was researched and drafted by Amara
Soonthorndhada, associate professor and deputy director of the Institute for Population
and Social Research at Mahidol University. The staff of Public Health Watch prepared the
overview and provided editing and administrative assistance. Additional editing and production
assistance was provided by the Communications Office of the Open Society Institute.
We would like to acknowledge the significant contributions of the Thailand Advisory
Group, both for helping to conceptualize the Thailand report and reviewing earlier drafts
of the document; the Institute for Population and Social Research, for providing excellent
logistical support; and all key informants and members of the Thai research team, for their
insights and support.
Public Health Watch supported the organization of two roundtable meetings to
solicit feedback on earlier drafts of this report in Bangkok and Chiang Mai in December
2005. We would like to thank all of the participants at these events for their valuable comments
and suggestions, many of which have been incorporated into the final report.
