On 3 Jan, from left, Lapaphat (Porn) Naruesornsiri, Suwaphat (Fern) Nuangkanta and Nidanuch (Pui) Tasak (not shown) recruited the first SEACTN Work Package-B patient at Mae Chan Hospital. Located in the foothills of the northern part of the Khun Tan mountain range, close to the Myanmar border and not far from Laos, the hospital serves a large Hill tribe and migrant population. Work Package B will help define the infectious causes of fever in these and other rural population so we can plan targeted interventions in the future. We hope to recruit many more patients and increase CCRU’s work with the hospital in the future.
