Thailand agencies tighten disease surveillance in new health pact
The country aims to build one of the region’s most accurate disease surveillance systems.
Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Disease Control to work on modern disease surveillance systems.
It will focus on accelerating the use of artificial intelligence-enabled solutions, rapid and accurate diagnostic tools, and data-driven surveillance.
Looking ahead, NSTDA also proposed piloting Traffy Fondue as a digital channel for citizen reporting and urban health monitoring, alongside further development of fast and accurate test kits.
