Thai women under 20 can now receive free contraceptive intrauterine devices (IUDs) at all hospitals connected with the National Health Security Office (NHSO).
IUDs are highly effective, long-lasting birth control methods, available in 3-year and 5-year types, offering convenience without disrupting daily life.
While mild side effects like headaches or nausea may occur, they typically resolve within six months; severe or unusual symptoms warrant immediate medical attention.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
