    AbstractThe Population and Community Development Association (PDA), a non-governmental organisation, has designed and implemented a new model of rural economic development in which health is considered to be the cornerstone of all development strategies. By attacking migration as the root cause of current threats to the population's health, PDA's Thai Business Initiative in Rural Development program provides economic opportunities to villagers in the poorest areas of the country. This structural approach to health enhancement includes specific components to address primary health care, family planning, and HIV/AIDS prevention, education and care.
