September 23, 2026: The School of Nursing at Walailak University participated in a merit-making ceremony to pay tribute and express royal gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol of Songkla, the “Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health of Thailand,” on the occasion of Mahidol Day 2026.

The solemn ceremony was held at the Sala Thai, Walailak University Hospital. The delegation was led by Assistant Professor Dr. Oraphen Sukawallik, Dean of the School of Nursing, alongside faculty members, university staff, and distinguished guests.

Participants gathered to honor the enduring legacy of His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol of Songkla, whose timeless guiding principle continues to inspire healthcare and nursing professionals across the nation:“True success is not in the learning, but in its application to the benefit of mankind.”(Thai Royal Philosophy: “Let human interest, not self-interest, be your first concern.”)

In deep remembrance of his royal benevolence, the School of Nursing at Walailak University remains committed to inheriting his noble royal determination—dedicating its medical, nursing, and public health education to the well-being and betterment of society.
