Treatment Network was organised by setting up training programmes in different

provinces and health regions, at TTM professional practicum sites of different universities,

and at TTM professional skill development sites in different public hospitals, and by
developing teaching courses in TTM for medical students, and for study visit sites in
Thailand and foreign countries.

Community Enterprise Producers Network was established by promoting

province, and providing training for community enterprise medicinal plant growers to
strengthen their potential to cultivate quality herbs that meet national standards. This

has resulted in generating income for such communities of over one million baht a year.
