"The BHDF believes that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or legal status."
The Border Health Development Foundation (BHDF) provides care, maintenance, and restoration of health along the Thai-Myanmar border. We extend assistance to the underprivileged, the impoverished, and individuals experiencing health-related issues who fall outside formal health systems. We also promote education, training, and the development of food and nutrition from the community for health and sustainability.
We strengthen relationships between border communities and organizations collaborating on health initiatives. Through a cooperative network, we promote border health program coordination among health organizations and humanitarian sectors, and work to foster family health free from the influence of harmful drugs.
