ThaiHealth serves as a central driving force to advance the new health promotion in collaboration with health promotion partners in all sectors, including the public, private, and civil society sectors. The 10-year health promotion (2022-2031) has adapted the working methods to address changing problems or environments and to respond to new challenges.

These strategies collectively promote sustainable social well-being by collaboratively encouraging innovation in preventing and tackling major health problems among the Thai population. They also help mitigate health risk factors and foster lifestyles, societal norms, and environmental conditions that support overall well-being.
