The goal is to support the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Pharmacy, and a 400-bed Kasetsart University Hospital under the Medical Park project, which aims to become a center for education, research, and medical services in the context of agro-medicine and bio-innovation.
Currently, the Faculty of Medicine at Kasetsart University has 94 medical students from the first and second cohorts. The Faculty of Nursing has 63 students in its first cohort, and the university is preparing to admit 24 students into the Faculty of Pharmacy's first cohort for the 2026 academic year, all of whom will contribute to strengthening Thailand's public health system in the future.
The university is actively developing educational and medical infrastructure, including classroom buildings and a medical education center at Kasetsart University's Bangkhen campus, as well as clinical medical education centers at Chaophraya Yommaraj Hospital in Suphan Buri Province and Sakon Nakhon Center Hospital in Sakon Nakhon Province. These facilities will provide comprehensive teaching, learning, and clinical training opportunities for medical students.
Additionally, the Kasetsart University Hospital Foundation has been established to invite the public and philanthropic individuals to participate in creating a hospital for the future that will improve quality of life and strengthen the nation's long-term health security.
