The areas where the activity took place were divided into two in view of disease distribution, economic condition and their location; one was the areas with high number of elderly patients and with low number of infants, and the other to the contrary. The former was located along the Mekong River, and the inhabitant could easily access clinics in Thailand across the river. The incidence of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis was high in these areas. The latter was, on the contrary, located inland, and the inhabitant could hardly access clinics and purchase medicine.
