In addition to the Crown Property Bureau, several partner organisations also joined this charitable activity namely the Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, volunteer ophthalmologists, volunteer dentists, common citizens and the Crown Prince Fund student volunteers.
On 17th February 2023, H.E. Mr. Ampon Kittiampon, the Crown Property Bureau’s board members and the Vice Chairman of “Mobile Royal Medical Unit” Project, presided on the opening day.

On 19th February 2023, the Governor of Saraburi presided to the closing ceremony, together with executives from partner organisations. Additional royal survival bags were offered to cataract patients.
Local patients were grateful for getting equal access to free medical treatment which was provided through the mobile medical unit. In total, there were 196 patients who underwent dental procedures, and 212 patients underwent various kinds of ophthalmic surgery including cataract surgery and corneal modification.
All these successful procedures were the result of volunteering spirits of all parties, which have helped bringing back happiness to the locals.
