What the grant funds

CDC is working through strong partnerships with governing bodies around the world to assure that implementation and evaluation of public health programs increases public health impact and that the knowledge gained can be accessed and applied in other settings. The BMA governs and manages public health services within Bangkok, Thailand and its surrounding urban areas. This NOFO will complement efforts by BMA and its national and international partners to prevent, monitor, assess, and mitigate public health threats in the Bangkok Metropolitan area. It will do this through (a) assessment of existing health behaviors, health care services and systems in Bangkok; (b) design, development, and implementation of standard procedures and practices for high-quality services by BMA health facilities and laboratories; and (c) capacity building and mentorship of BMA health care workers, laboratory staff, strategic information (SI) experts, and program managers to implement, monitor, and continuously improve the quality of those procedures and practices so as to enhance prevention, detection, response, and preparation for public health threats. Achieving those goals in Bangkok requires a multifaceted approach that embraces all partners. For more than 20 years, BMA and CDC have collaborated to strengthen public health infrastructure and capacity in Bangkok. These efforts have helped control the spread of HIV and other infectious diseases, increased access to quality diagnosis, care, and treatment for communicable and non-communicable diseases, and strengthened surveillance and use of evidence to guide public health decision-making and financing in the Bangkok area. Over the past four decades, Thailand has undergone significant social, economic and demographic changes. Demographic changes have resulted in an increasingly aging population structure, as well as increased exposure to non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors, such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco consumption and harmful use of alcohol. Infectious and emerging infectious diseases continue to be serious public health issues impacting Thailand and the Mekong region - extending globally as more people travel. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly growing public health threat in Thailand. Rising gram-negative bacterial resistance and antibiotic overuse have led to development of a National Strategic Plan to prevent and control AMR.
