The Thai ministry of public health is targeting to reduce cases of food poisoning and diarrhoea at schools and childcare centres by at least 30 per cent this year.
Md Wichai Thienthawon, assistant to the minister of public health, chaired a seminar on food safety in schools and child development centres recently.
Speaking at the seminar, he cited research on food- and water-borne diseases over the past five years, which found that diarrhoea was the most prevalent disease of the category.
