17 – 18 June 2014

Stipulated under the National Health Act 2007, health assembly is the process of developing and driving healthy public policy into action.  Health assembly strengthens health promotion action on building healthy public policy identified in the Ottawa Charter and stimulates participatory democracy specified in the Constitution of Kingdom of Thailand.
