The project will involve collaboration with various partners, including 54 Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospitals in Phayao Province, the Phayao Provincial Administrative Organization, the University of Phayao, and the University of Phayao Hospital. Through this collaboration, the project aims to create policy guidelines, facilitate government investment planning, and establish a learning model for the city based on cooperation.
