Community organizations asked for funding from the Pattaya Health Security Fund for more than 60 projects.

Deputy City Manager Wuthipol Charoenpol chaired the Sept. 6 meeting at which applicants submitted their projects for review for the 2019 budget.

Punnapa Thongphan, director of the Health Promotion Office, gave an overview of the fund and its rules while Sapatrada Sataranakul laid out the standards that each project must meet for approval.

The projects covered health promotion, disease prevention, rehabilitation and necessary proactive medical care.

In all, 63 projects were submitted, but many were rejected due to shortcomings in explaining how the government money would be spent and how the project would achieve success.

All the rejected applicants were encouraged to bring their proposals into compliance with fund rules and resubmit them.
