The honored guest from Department of Disease Control (DDC) Md. Sarawut Suwannathappa (สราวุท สุวัณณะทัพพะ) presided over the meeting concerning the development of international cooperation in monitoring and curbing the spread of diseases along Thailand-Laos-Cambodia borders.

The spread of diseases which should be specially observed are avian influenza, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and Aids.
