Prince Mahidol Adulyadej
statue of Prince Mahidol at Siriraj Hospital
“I don’t want you to be only a doctor but I also want you to be a MAN”
the quote of Prince Mahidol, the father of King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) and King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand. He was also regarded as the father of modern medicine and public health of Thailand.
In order to appreciate his virtue and be grateful to him, 24th Sep (the dead day of Price) of every year is settled to be Mahidol day.
And this is a good opportunity for Mahidol students, especially Siriraj medical students, to be volunteers. All of the outcome of donation is determined thoroughly for only buying medical devices and using for a numerous poor patients in Siriraj hosptal, absolutely not including academic affair or research matter.
We, volunteers, are seperated to almost 30 lines in Bangkok and other provinces around Bangkok for asking donation (totally about 80 outgoing times). We must ask for donating house by house. It may be exhausting, some of people that didn’t know sometimes look down on us…. however we are always proud to be a part of this charity.
This volunteering work is not compulsory course however almost of all students participate in this job. Absolutely, I am a volunteer every year, used to be head of Bang-ka-pi line and this year I’m a medical student committee for Mahidol's day donation.
I suppose You can realize that this way is extremely beneficial not only for the poor patients but also Mahidol students. I think This is a brilliant method to instill student a good attitude of altruism, compassion and follow Prince mahidol’s teaching “the patients’ advantage must be considered first”
Moreover, as a volunteer, I got lots of valuable experience, the kindness of people impress me. Though some of them are very poor such as a beggar, pity elder man,..ect. are willing to sacrifice a little of their scant money for this charity because they trust in Siriraj Hospital and hope these little donation will be more advantage for someone….. it’s extremely impressing, isn’t it….,
