| Sex and reproductive health education at Siam University (Siam University, Thailand) |
Description:
Siam University has 15 faculties and colleges (GI 4). The faculty curriculum surveys on SDGs for academic year 2569 show sexual and reproductive health teaching in three health-science faculties, and reproductive-system or pregnancy content in two more (Table HP 6.1.1).
Faculty of Medicine. In the Doctor of Medicine programme, 244-611 Pediatric Practice 1 covers sex education, adolescent health care and the physical and psychological changes of adolescence. Six obstetrics and gynaecology courses (243-411, 243-412, 243-511, 243-512, 243-611 and 243-612) cover the care of pregnant women and gynaecological patients, health promotion, disease prevention and advice to patients.
Faculty of Nursing. Bachelor of Nursing Science students study Midwifery (170-329), Maternal and Newborn Nursing (170-351) and Children and Adolescent Nursing (170-348), with practicums in maternal and newborn nursing (170-337), midwifery (170-338 and 170-431) and child and adolescent nursing (170-331). Nursing lecturers also publish on how midwife nurses counsel women of reproductive age on choosing contraception (2026).
Faculty of Pharmacy. Doctor of Pharmacy students learn the drugs used for the obstetric–gynaecological system (200-322 Pharmacology 2), obstetric–gynaecological disorders and the use of medicines in pregnant and breastfeeding women (200-323 Pharmacotherapy 2), and care plans with patient education for these disorders (200-324). They study the human reproductive system (200-217) and care for pregnant patients in their clerkship (200-560). The Faculty’s Osot Siam pharmacy also publishes advice on using contraceptive pills correctly.
Other faculties. Dentistry (280-306 Pharmacology for Dentists) teaches drug use in pregnant and breastfeeding women, and Optometry (187-102 and 187-103) teaches the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system; these are biology and pharmacology topics rather than sex education. No sex education session for students of the other faculties was found in the General Education course specifications or reports for the last academic year.

Description:
Counselling and health services. The Health and Well-being Policy gives students and staff access to on-campus health services, including preventive care and medical consultation, and to confidential counselling, crisis intervention and referral. The Health Center in the Sports Complex and the nursing room in Building 15 serve students, staff and the public; the Faculty of Nursing gives confidential health advice through its LINE Official Account; and the Osot Siam pharmacy is on campus. International College students who need counselling are referred to the university counselling service.
Information and commodities. Osot Siam, the Faculty of Pharmacy’s community pharmacy on campus, publishes health infographics on its public channel, including “Know the facts! How to use contraceptive pills correctly”, which explains when to start the pill and how to take it at the same time every day.
Prevention of sexual violence and inclusion. The code of conduct prohibits sexual assault, harassment and coercion, with sanctions up to dismissal, and complaints are handled confidentially. The University promotes gender diversity and inclusion through its Siam Ambassador selection open to all gender identities and its library resources on LGBTQ+ studies. These measures support a safe environment but are not counted as safer sex programmes.
No campaign against sexual risk behaviour and no survey of sexual risk behaviour were found for the last academic year (Table HP 6.2.1).
