SUMMARY:Photo & Art Exhibition “In Our Voices: Health & Resilience along the Thailand-Myanmar Border”
DESCRIPTION:Despite Thailand having one of the best national healthcare systems in the region\, not everyone can access it. Cross-border populations often live in underprivileged conditions and are exposed to infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Limitations to health care access\, due to geographical\, financial\, socio-cultural\, language or security concerns\, preclude effective prevention and treatment of diseases. Women and children are particularly at risk due to inadequate maternal and child services. \nTo highlight cross-border health concerns\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) and Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) in collaboration with SEA Junction will hold a multimedia exhibition “In Our Voices: Health & Resilience along the Thailand-Myanmar Border” on 15-27 October\, from 11 am to 7 pm in the corner space of BACC. The opening of the exhibition which will marked by a short video screening followed by panel discussion on 15 October at 6 pm. \nThe exhibition and the panel discussion reveal the living environment of cross-border populations\, their exposure to malaria and other tropical diseases and the vulnerability of women and children among them. It also shows their resilience in confronting these difficulties and the importance of involving them in efforts to improve their health conditions. The relevance of participatory health research processes that take into account community’s insights and strengthen their capacity and social support mechanisms is here stressed.  \nThe exhibition combines photos\, drawings\, and other visual material produced by frontline health workers and public engagement team members\, showing the communities’ daily risks\, burdens and hardships. The artworks are made by the community members themselves and show their experiences and ability to overcome daily challenges. \nThese activities were undertaken under the project *REACH = Resilience\, Empowerment and Advocacy in Women’s and Children’s Health Research (https://www.ethox.ox.ac.uk/Our-research/major-programmes/reach) and benefited from the insights of +T-CAB = Tak Province Community Ethics Advisory Board members with the financial support of Wellcome Trust and UK Medical Research Council Newton Fund. \n  \nExhibition Opening Agenda on 15 October 2019 \n\n\n\nTime\nDescription\n\n\n5.30 pm\nRegistration at SEA Junction\, Room 408\, 4th floor BACC\n\n\n6 pm to \n8 pm \n \nWelcoming Remarks \n· Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction and Associate Professor IPSR\, Mahidol University \n· Phaik Yeong Cheah\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit\, and Associate Professor\, University of Oxford\n\n\nVideo Screening – In Our Voices (a video on health research participation by +T-CAB members and health workers on the Thai-Myanmar border)\n\n\nPanel discussion  \nPanelists:  \n· Suphak Nosten\, Photographer and SMRU Designated Media Person\, Shoklo-Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) \n· Francois Nosten\, Director\, Shoklo Malaria Research Unit \n· Rose McGready\, Deputy Director\, Shoklo Malaria Research Unit \n· Cynthia Maung\, Director and Founder of Mae Tao Clinic \nModerator: Phaik Yeong Cheah\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit\n\n\nClosing remarks –Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction and Associate Professor IPSR\, Mahidol University\n\n\nOpening of the photo exhibition by Cynthia Maung (Fl.1)\n\n\n\n  \nSpeakers’ Short Bios \nSuphak Nosten \nSuphak is a Senior Advisor\, SMRU\, based in Maesot\, Tak province\, Thailand and a member the of Malaria Elimination Task Force program (METF).  She is an official photographer of SMRU who has taken the photographs for the “Our Voices” exhibition.
