The Faculty of Dentistry, Khon Kaen University, participated in the “KKU Societal Contribution Fair” by deploying the Royal Mobile Dental Unit, established in honour of His Majesty the King. The unit provided complimentary mobile dental services, including oral health check-ups and professional advice, to promote oral hygiene and foster healthy smiles within the community. The event was held on Friday, 6 March 2026, at Khon Kaen Railway Station, Khon Kaen.
This year’s KKU Societal Contribution Fair saw the collaboration of 62 internal and external partner organisations to serve a continuously growing number of attendees. Guided by the principles of providing accessible, equitable, and free services, the university is committed to working with society in all dimensions—from education and health to career enhancement and livelihood development. These efforts aim to strengthen community trust and position the university as a reliable institution capable of addressing societal challenges through practical solutions.
The event also encouraged collaboration among multiple sectors in community and social development, contributing to long-term sustainability goals. Such initiatives reinforce Khon Kaen University’s role as a thought leader and a key driver of socially responsible innovation. By offering a wide range of services, the fair helped reduce healthcare costs for community members while ensuring equitable access to quality health services, and empowered participants with knowledge from experts to improve their health and overall quality of life.
The KKU Societal Contribution Fair aligns with Khon Kaen University’s strategic pillar of Societal Contribution, which focuses on strengthening communities through knowledge, technology, and innovation. This initiative covers over 95 communities in Khon Kaen province, delivering services in four main areas: health, education and consultation, community career promotion, and pet healthcare. Through continuous collaboration with its network of partners, the university aims to create economic and social value while sustainably enhancing the public’s quality of life. The Faculty of Dentistry’s participation in providing dental services at this event was a key part of this commitment.
