Udomsak Charoenwut, vice president of the Chonburi
Provincial Administrative Organization and members of the Chonburi PAO prepare
to train “village health volunteers” at Bankao Sub-district offices in Panthong.
Nearly 150 new public-health volunteers received training
before being dispatched to three Chonburi districts.
Udomsak Charoenwut, vice president of the Chonburi Provincial Administrative
Organization, presided over the second round of training for 149 “village health
volunteers” at Bankao Sub-district offices in Panthong June 16-20.
Of the group, 69 volunteers will work in Panthong, 44 in Phanat Nikom and 36 in
Bothong.
Udomsak said the Chonburi PAO wants to empower the public-health workforce by
having people work as leaders in conducting activities to promote health in
communities. Currently, though, it is facing a shortage of volunteers to cover
the continuously growing population. Therefore it held the training to produce
new volunteers for the services.
The training covered personality, human relations, code of ethics for healthcare
workers, self-discipline and teamwork. Ten days of practical training on-site
followed. (CPRD)
