Kasetsart University alumni from class 30 have contributed over 4 million baht toward the construction of Kasetsart Hospital to enhance the country's healthcare system. The university continues to drive forward its Medical Park Project to improve access to medical services, produce quality healthcare professionals, and develop health innovations nationwide.
Acting President Dr. Damrong Sriprarama recently accepted a donation of 4,010,600 baht from class 30 alumni, led by Mr. Krai Tangsang, on April 30, 2026, at the President's Office in the 50-Year Communications Building at Kasetsart University's Bangkok campus. The donation represents a significant charitable contribution supporting the university's mission to establish the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Pharmacy, and a 400-bed Kasetsart Hospital as a hub for education, research, and medical services focused on agro-medicine and bio-innovation.
The Medical Park Project will serve as a center for developing healthcare professionals and medical innovations to strengthen Thailand's public health system and improve people's quality of life sustainably. Currently, the Faculty of Medicine has two cohorts of 47 medical students each, while the Faculty of Nursing has 63 first-year students. The university is preparing to admit 24 students to the Faculty of Pharmacy in the 2026 academic year to strengthen Thailand's healthcare workforce.
The university is constructing teaching facilities and medical education centers at multiple locations, including the Bangkok campus and clinical education centers at Chaophraya Yommarat Hospital in Suphan Buri and Sakon Nakhon Hospital in Sakon Nakhon Province to support medical student training. The university has also established the Kasetsart Hospital Foundation to invite public participation in creating a future hospital that will serve the nation's healthcare needs.
Donations are tax-deductible and can be made through the Punboon website or Thai Military Bank account number 069-2-77187-6 (Kasetsart University Hospital). The university invites all interested donors to support this important healthcare initiative.
