Abstract

Liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini infection is associated with hepatobiliary diseases including cholangiocarcinoma. The spread of liver fluke infection may occur in Southeast Asia due to increased labour migration among the countries of the ASEAN Economic Community as a result of an open borders policy that started in 2015. Therefore, a migrant health and education programme (MHEP) was organized and delivered by a migrant health and education network team. This study was conducted from March 2018 to October 2019 among migrant labourers from Cambodia, Laos PDR, and Myanmar who work in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. Participants experienced a high level of satisfaction with the MHEP and gave the programme positive feedback. The MHEP has achieved its objective to increase the accessibility of health services among migrant populations in factory settings. Sharing this successful programme may also be useful in other areas.
