This mission was led by Professor Emeritus Rajata Rajatanavin M.D., Acting Deputy Secretary-General of Chulabhorn Royal Academy. To foster the next generation of healthcare providers, the Princess also directed faculty and students from the Princess Srisavangavadhana Faculty of Medicine and Medical to join the mobile unit. This integration provided students with vital field experience while delivering comprehensive care to 369 residents. Services included: General medical examinations and dental care, Traditional Thai medicine and acupuncture, Chest X-rays and specialized breast cancer screenings. Demonstrating her profound dedication to patient care, Her Royal Highness personally granted an audience to four patients suffering from severe conditions, including Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Down syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with developmental delays, and colorectal cancer with chronic kidney failure.
The Princess meticulously interviewed each patient to assess their medical history and collaborated with physicians to establish immediate treatment plans. She has officially accepted all four patients under her Royal Patronage, facilitating their transfer to Chom Thong, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai, and Nakornping Hospitals. Furthermore, she provided personal financial grants to cover travel expenses and daily living costs for the patients and their families.
