GlobeMed at Dartmouth partners with the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand
(KWAT), a grassroots organization located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. KWAT
provides health care and educational services, as well as safe shelters and
other support for victims of ethnic conflict in Burma. Civil war and
political and economic deterioration in this state have caused thousands to
flee their homes in Burma and cross the border into Thailand where many
live without access to basic necessities. GlobeMed at Dartmouth is engaging
in fundraising campaigns throughout the year to fund the construction and
equipment for a medical laboratory that will provide free diagnostic
services for HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB for impoverished community members.
GlobeMed at Dartmouth also hosts a year-long curriculum of discussions on
major topics in global health and each year sends a group of Dartmouth
students to Thailand to work on-site with our partner community.
