The Thai National Health Assembly is one of my all time best national
assemblies - well worth PHM activists attending if they can

> This year at NHA 2013, we will have the technical meeting and the plenary
> session on the result of the National Health Assembly’s Study in Thailand,
> Brazil and Uganda. The technical meeting will discuss on the fact
> findings , whereas the plenary session will scale up the research to the
> policy. I can assure you that the discussion on this issue will be
> worthwhile attending. South Africa was organized the NHA last year. You or
> your colleagues may be interested to attend our NHA.

>
> We hope that the exchange of knowledge and experiences among Thai and
> foreign participants at NHA, although it is just a small step, can build on

> *Thailand’s National Health Assembly (NHA*) is adapted from the World

> This model of policy making with an emphasis on inclusive participation

> More than 200 constituencies or around 1000 people join NHA to develop and
> drive healthy public policies.  A variety of policy proposals are to be
> discussed and get adopted by a consensus basis. Much more activities from
> communities, health networks and organizations will be organized for you to
> explore.

> *NHA 2013,* which is our 6t h National Health Assembly, will be an
