Congratulations to Dr. Worawit Tontiwattanasap on being awarded the 2026 United Arab Emirates Health Foundation Prize at the World Health Assembly. This well-deserved recognition honors a lifetime of extraordinary service to equitable health care for rural, stateless, displaced, and cross-border communities in Tak province and along the Thailand–Myanmar border. Through his leadership at Umphang Hospital, advocacy for policy change, expansion of mobile and district health services, and commitment to training community health workers and midwives, Dr. Worawit has shown that borders need not limit compassion, and that humanity must guide our efforts to leave no one behind. His inspiring work brings the promise of health for all closer to reality and stands as a powerful example for Thailand and the global health community.
