The 16th Community Health Volunteering Camp, held under the theme “Fill the Heart with Pink and Embrace Love,” was organised successfully at Ban Wang Khon Daeng Nong Ya Plong School in Khon Kaen Province. The programme took place from 31 January to 1 February 2026.

Dr. Dujdao Sahasthas led a team of physicians, medical personnel, and volunteers from the Sirikit Heart Centre of Khon Kaen University, who collaborated with faculty members from Rajamangala University of Technology Isan (RMUTI). They travelled to the area to provide comprehensive cardiac health check-ups and to deliver warmth and encouragement to the local community members.

 

The camp featured a comprehensive range of healthcare activities, including cardiovascular disease screening, electrocardiogram (EKG) testing, and heart ultrasound examinations. A total of 147 local residents attended the medical services. Following the screening results, 10 patients were identified and subsequently referred for further specialized treatment.

In addition to health services, the camp provided essential capacity-building training, including basic life support (CPR) instruction for both children and adults in the community. The team also renovated the school playground to ensure it was safer and more functional. Furthermore, blankets were distributed to residents of Dong Lan Sub-district to alleviate the burden of cold weather, thereby extending care and concern during the winter season.

Every activity undertaken during this volunteering camp served to weave a strong fabric of cooperation and love among all participating sectors. The initiative successfully fostered the “Pink of Happiness” to bloom in Phon District, ensuring that sustainable community well-being continues to grow within the hearts of the residents.
