Each year, around 8,000 Thai children are born with congenital heart defects. About half of these children require surgery to survive or avoid long-term physical complications. Most of these children come from low-income families. Although Thailand’s universal healthcare program has improved access to surgery, there are still limitations in the number of pediatric patients who can receive surgery each year. As a result, many children remain on waiting lists, with the number increasing annually.
Recognizing the importance of social responsibility, the Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation and Bumrungrad International Hospital launched the Rak Jai Thai Project in 2003. With a highly experienced medical team, advanced surgical equipment, and its role as a regional cardiac referral center, the hospital has committed its resources to help underprivileged children receive life-saving heart surgeries.
As of October 1, 2024, the project has provided surgeries to over 829 children, with each surgery costing approximately 750,000 THB. The project covers all medical expenses, including diagnosis, surgery, hospitalization, recovery, transportation, food, and accommodation for the child’s parents or guardians. This ensures that even the poorest families can access complete care at Bumrungrad International Hospital.
The Rak Jai Thai Project is a collaboration between the Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation, Bumrungrad International Hospital, and the Cardiac Children Foundation of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of Princess Galyani Vadhana.
The R-SA Bumrungrad Mobile Clinic is a community outreach initiative by the Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation and Bumrungrad International Hospital. The project aims to provide free medical services to underserved communities in Bangkok and other provinces. The mobile clinic is staffed entirely by volunteer medical professionals from Bumrungrad, including specialists in internal medicine, orthopedics, pediatrics, and ophthalmology.
In 2024, the project launched its first mission at the Baan Don Mosque community in Bangkok. By October 2024, the mobile clinic had conducted five missions across 27 communities, serving over 2,000 patients. The clinic offers comprehensive health screenings, consultations, and treatments tailored to each community’s needs.

The Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation and Bumrungrad International Hospital have been supporting the villagers of the Nikhom Kham Soi and Khamcha-i Districts of the Mukdahan Province by purchasing their hand-woven wicker baskets to present toiletries in Bumrungrad’s inpatient rooms. This project is a joint effort between Bumrungrad International Hospital, the Bangkok Insurance Foundation, and the Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation.
Over a short period, higher-quality wicker products were developed — more detailed and even more beautiful — which has caught the eye of the general public. The production of these products has also increased significantly. Bumrungrad has been helping the people in these communities maintain a stable income, as well as maintain a better quality of life. And just as importantly, helping in keeping this basket weaving tradition alive.
The foundation sponsors treatments for underprivileged patients who require surgical procedures but cannot cover the costs (depending on specific projects that are carried out by the foundation during the year).
The Bumrungrad Hospital Foundation and Bumrungrad International Hospital is adamant about continuously promoting health education and other vital health-related information as a community service. This includes health promoting activities for students in the communities, health exhibitions, disseminating information about diseases, and informing people about medical advances. This information is spread through Bumrungrad’s channels as well as other public channels.
Funding is provided by donations from patients, organizations, companies, and individuals.
