He said that Thailand was the first developing country to mount a successful HIV prevention response. Thailand’s successes in AIDS prevention and treatment were not inevitable, neither was its quest for universal health coverage. He have learned that investing in people is not just the right moral choice, ambitious reforms require skillful balancing of competing demands and a handful of committed people with vision have the power to change the world. He concludes that lessons are universal and timeless that we can achieve great things, if we learn from history, and contribute to a lasting evidence-based wisdom.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOBIRTHUNEMPLOYMENTCOMBINATIONS OF DRUGSEQUITYTREATMENTWORKERSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTHIVINCOMEDEATHSPREVENTIONCAREDOCTORSCHILDHOODHEALTH CARE POLICYPREMATURE DEATHMEDICINEHEALTH CARE REFORMSUICIDEHEALTH OUTCOMESGIRLS’ EDUCATIONDISCRIMINATIONDRUGSHEALTH CAREDEATHPAINSHIV PREVENTIONINCENTIVESHEALTHEPIDEMICHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH WORKERSCOLD CHAININJURIESMOTHERCHILDHOOD DISEASESHEALTH COVERAGETHERAPYPUBLIC HEALTHHEALTH SYSTEMVACCINESSEXDEMANDSKNOWLEDGEHUMAN RIGHTSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCHOICEDIABETESVIRUSDISEASEDISEASESAIDS EPIDEMICCLINICSCOSTSHEALTH FOR ALLLIFEINTEGRATIONILLNESSCONDOMINFECTIONSALLFUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTSHEALTH EQUITYVISIONSTRATEGYFAMILIESHIV INFECTIONSAIDSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHIV/AIDSHEALTH SERVICESCONDOMSHEALTH OFFICIALSHEALTH CARE SYSTEMTREATMENTSSpeechWorld Bank10.1596/24341
