Description

Health services are available at the Health Center, located in two sites — on the ground floor of Building 15 and at the Sports Complex Building. They provide free services to all staff and students.

As for mental health support, the staff can either go to the Health Center. However, if they wish to seek private mental health counseling, the Faculty of Nursing’s online application is available, offering access to professional experts who provide confidential consultations. This online application with a QR code is appreciated by those who seek anonymous health advice in such case as mental health support as well as other health advice. Our faculty members from the Department of Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing have long experiences in providing services.

It is noteworthy that the Faculty of Nursing provides annual health service for university personnel, including physical and mental health evaluations as well as personalized health consultations tailored to each individual’s condition. This serves as an early screening process to promote timely care and treatment.

In addition, the Faculty of Pharmacy has established a long-standing academic collaboration with the Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering research and academic cooperation, as well as professional training. This is to guarantee that we have efficient personnel to provide services on campus. Most recently, the agreement was renewed and extended on August 25, 2022 and valid until present.
