On May 20, 2026, Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana, President of Chulabhorn Royal Academy, Chancellor of Chulabhorn Royal Academy Council, and Acting Secretary-General of Chulabhorn Royal Academy, traveled to the Yong Jai Yuth Pavilion at the Nakhon Phanom Provincial Hall in Mueang District, Nakhon Phanom Province. Her Royal Highness visited the Royal Mobile Medical Unit from Chulabhorn Hospital to boost the morale of the operating staff and medical personnel.

For this royal mission, Her Royal Highness graciously commanded medical teams, nurses, and healthcare personnel from Chulabhorn Hospital to collaborate with Nakhon Phanom Hospital and Tha Uthen Hospital. Together, they established a mobile clinic providing free general medical check-ups and health consultations to residents of Nakhon Phanom and neighboring provinces.
The medical unit reported that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality among local residents. A total of 169 patients received medical attention at the mobile unit, categorized by symptoms as follows:

• • Musculoskeletal, bone, and joint disorders: 73 cases
• • Gastrointestinal system diseases: 27 cases
• • Cardiovascular system diseases: 27 cases
• • Neurological system disorders: 24 cases
• • Respiratory system diseases: 16 cases Additionally, 15 patients with severe or complex conditions were referred to Nakhon Phanom Hospital for advanced treatment.

Following the medical unit visit, Her Royal Highness proceeded to the working pavilion, where she graciously presented 500 doses of rabies vaccine to the Nakhon Phanom Provincial Livestock Officer to immunize target animal populations in the area. Her Royal Highness then performed veterinary surgical procedures alongside the Chulabhorn Volunteer Veterinary Team from Kasetsart University, providing sterilization services for both pets and stray animals. This veterinary initiative aligns with the strategic framework of the "Disease-Free Animals, Safe-from-Rabies Humans according to the Royal Desire" project. The project's ultimate goal is to completely eradicate and control the outbreak of rabies within Thailand.

The Chulabhorn Hospital Royal Mobile Medical Unit integrated its operations with local agencies, including the Nakhon Phanom Provincial Public Health Office, Nakhon Phanom Hospital, and the Nakhon Phanom Provincial Office of Social Development and Human Security. This collaborative effort reflects Her Royal Highness's profound care for the well-being of Thai citizens residing in remote rural areas, ensuring they receive comprehensive and equitable access to medical and public health services.
