CHON BURI: Thailand's successes in implementing family planning schemes over the past few decades showed that the country could be a model for other nations which are now facing an explosion of new births, according to the director of Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, Jose G Timon II on Monday.
Mr Timon made the remark at the 2022 International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in Pattaya, which ends on Wednesday. Over 3,500 participants from 125 countries are participating in the event, in which they have shared their research, and innovations and discussed challenges surrounding family planning.
Thailand was chosen to host this year's conference due to its outstanding performance on the provision of birth control to those who need it the most, as well as its universal health care system, he said.
