Main Article Content
Abstract
Non-communicable diseases have always been a threat to Thai people and have become increasingly more severe. Family care teams are new hopes for the country in solving the problem according to family medicine principles based on family care. Support for family care places emphasis on family health volunteers who play the major role in caring for patients and coordinating with the family care team in treatment, prevention, health promotion and rehabilitation. This is implementation of integrated prevention policy by integrating health social sciences and holistic care to jointly work with the multidisciplinary team in the practice of sustainable non-communicable disease control.
