On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 1:30 PM, Prof. (Special) Dr. Wichai Thienthavorn, President of the Praboromarajchanok Institute, presided over the opening of the “Thalassemia Genetics Learning and Counseling Center.” Located at the Chalerm Phra Kiat 60th Anniversary Navamintharachini Health Center (Nikhom Lam Takhong) in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, the center was established through the collaboration of four colleges within Education Zone 5 (Nakhon Ratchasima, Surin, Sappasithiprasong, and the College of Public Health, Ubon Ratchathani). This initiative serves as the first pilot project in the Northeast to drive a primary care system, utilizing the “Choose Partner, Choose Pregnancy, Choose Delivery” concept and the “6-Color Life Traffic Light” (Ping Pong) tool. The project aims to foster health literacy, enabling the public and communities to sustainably monitor, prevent, and reduce the risks associated with thalassemia.
