On 13 December 2025, the School of Medicine and the School of Dentistry, Mae Fah Luang University, in collaboration with Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd., organised the "Singha Volunteer Mobile Medical Unit" project at Pha Khwang Wittaya School, Mueang Chiang Rai District. The initiative delivered health examinations and disease screening services to residents in remote areas.
The project mobilised a team of physicians, medical students, and healthcare personnel to offer general health check-ups and breast cancer screening services for local residents, schoolchildren, and underprivileged groups. Health and hygiene education was also provided to promote disease prevention and overall well-being.
This outreach initiative offered valuable hands-on learning experiences for medical students and healthcare personnel by exposing them to community contexts beyond the classroom. Participants gained practical experience working under resource constraints, developed a deeper understanding of real health challenges faced by people in remote areas, and strengthened teamwork and holistic patient-care skills—essential foundations for becoming competent physicians with a strong sense of social responsibility.
This project significantly enhanced access to healthcare services for residents in remote communities. It supported the early detection of health problems and provided appropriate health guidance that may help reduce long-term healthcare costs. Moreover, the health education activities fostered healthier behaviours within the community. The initiative also served as a positive motivation, inspiring local children and youth to pursue education and careers in professions that contribute to society.
Ultimately, this initiative reflects effective collaboration between an educational institution and the private sector in addressing healthcare needs in remote areas. It successfully instilled social responsibility among future medical professionals and promoted more equitable access to health services, aligning with the university’s vision to promote well-being and a sustainable future.
