When the king’s reign began, the state of the country’s public healthcare system was poor. Outbreaks of epidemics such as cholera could be devastating and access to healthcare virtually impossible in the more remote parts of the country. The king responded by promoting the physical health of the people through a variety of measures. He established hospitals and clinics. Through his dairy and fish breeding projects, he encouraged better nutrition. On his travels, he instructed medical units to accompany him and provide on-the-spot treatment to the sick. To soldiers injured while serving the country or Thais afflicted by natural disaster, the crown offered its support. Continuing the legacy of his father, the king presented scholarships and awards to support the advanced study of medicine. These initiatives have complemented a public healthcare system that has improved dramatically over the last few decades.
