Kasetsart University Donors Give 5.6M Baht For Medical Park
Kasetsart University alumni and students have donated 5.6 million baht toward the university's Medical Park project, a comprehensive healthcare and education facility aimed at strengthening Thailand's medical system through 2029.
Alumni from Kasetsart University's Class of 1988 (KU 31) and current students have combined efforts to donate funds supporting the university's Medical Park project, designed to elevate Thailand's healthcare system. The university's acting rector, Dr. Damrong Sriphraram, received a donation of 224,269 baht during a ceremony on June 25, 2025, at the university's administrative office. This contribution supports the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Pharmacy, and Kasetsart Hospital under the Medical Park initiative. Since 2023, the KU 31 alumni group has donated a cumulative 5.06 million baht across four installments. Additionally, Nantarat Jinakanj, a fourth-year architecture student (KU 83), contributed 50,000 baht.
The Medical Park project aims to develop a comprehensive medical education, research, and innovation ecosystem, with the first phase running from 2025 to 2029 and budgeted at over 8.863 billion baht. The hospital will serve as a hub for healthcare delivery and workforce development rooted in agro-medicine and bio-innovation, addressing Thailand's future medical personnel needs. The project reflects the government's commitment to strengthening the nation's long-term public health foundation.
Kasetsart University views each donor's contribution as essential momentum for building a world-class medical institution that will care for public health and serve society sustainably. The university welcomes further donations through its e-Donation platform or Punboon website, with contributions eligible for double tax deduction under a Cabinet resolution from June 16, 2025, through December 31, 2027.
