BMA

Visited three hospitals under the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA) to observe healthcare policy implementation, including home visits to study outpatient care and telemedicine operations in Thailand. Listened in on patient–provider calls and explored the Thai traditional herbal medicine division to understand its growing integration into modern healthcare. Selected to actively design a mental health policy proposal aimed at improving outcomes for children in Thai public schools, based on prior work with Thai Com projects. Currently collaborating with medical professionals to collect data and distribute student mental health surveys. In parallel, developing a policy to address diet-related illnesses such as diabetes and obesity, both as part of the BMA’s “Healthy Schools” initiative. As the first youth member to collaborate with the BMA on policy design, I am helping pioneer greater youth involvement in shaping school health policies that directly affect their peers.
