“Services designed by the communities using them produce different outcomes, not just different branding.”— PrideShow Editorial Board
RSAT runs six clinics across Thailand delivering HIV and STI testing, PrEP, hormone-level monitoring for transgender clients, and hepatitis C and TB screening — a key-population-led organisation rather than one serving key populations from outside.
That distinction is the whole argument. Clinical services designed by the communities using them produce different intake procedures, different consultation language and different retention outcomes, and the gap shows up most clearly in transgender healthcare, where mainstream provision in Thailand remains inconsistent.
First among small businesses at 77 points. RSAT is the clearest example in this edition of the pink economy functioning as infrastructure rather than as a market segment.
