Improving rural road access

MSIG Thailand arranged a CSR fundraising program to build a small road from Baan Huay Kook Border Patrol Police School to the Royal Suksala Clinic at Baan Huay Kook Village in Chiang Rai province. Approximately 200 staff came together to raise 150,000 THB for the road construction. The new road will come in useful for approximately 200 people living in the village and neighbouring areas, who will now be able to get to the public healthcare centre easily, thus improving their quality of life and perhaps helping to save lives. 

The Royal Suksala Clinics of the Border Patrol Police School" (RSC.BPP. School) are public health service places that not only provide basic health care services but also integrated health services. They are a center for health education and communication, in addition to functioning as the community's health development center. The Royal Suksala clinics have a "nursing unit" providing primary treatment services, first aid and disease monitoring and prevention, plus they are the information centers of the community. Royal Suksala clinics can help with coordination among village health volunteers, community leaders and the local administrative organisation to manage health care services for students and local people by providing new technology, lifesaving appliances, vehicles, communication devices and other useful items necessary for nursing and treatment. In addition, computer devices, electronic media, press media and audio visual aids are utilised for distributing news, information and knowledge to communities.
