The initiative offers a unique educational opportunity for students to explore and comprehend the intricate interplay between healthcare practices, cultural contexts, and economic considerations in a globalized world. AUN students will gain firsthand insights into the field of medical tourism and the similarities and differences between Thai traditional and Western medicine. This immersive experience contributes directly to Goal 3 by fostering an understanding of diverse healthcare systems, promoting cross-cultural collaboration, and addressing the global challenges associated with ensuring access to quality healthcare for all.
