May 1, 2026: Chulalongkorn University Improves Workers' Quality of Life with Free Health Screenings and Services at Siam Square

Following its policy to transform Siam Square into a space of opportunity for all Thais and serve as a bridge between Chulalongkorn's knowledge and the public, the university is advancing its second consecutive worker-focused event. Thai workers are invited to Siam Square on May 1, 2026 for free health screenings and services from students, faculty, nurses, and doctors representing over 20 faculties and departments, organized by PMCU (Chulalongkorn University Property Management Office) under the initiative "Chulalongkorn Cares, Strong Thai Workers."
