The National Health Commission Office (NHCO) of Thailand is driving the strategy on Humanized Thailand with the principle that good deed can be seeded and passed on to other communities and to the next generation. NHCO promotes networking among groups/networks which contribute good things to the society. Their good stories are collected and shared among the expanding network in order to honor the good persons and encourage these practices. Moreover, NHCO links all kinds of media to broadcast the good stories nationwide.
