Assumption University Joins Forces with Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation and PRINC Group to Launch Faculty of Medicine

A new chapter in history was written on February 9, 2026, at the St. Luke School of Medicine, Assumption University, Suvarnabhumi Campus. This milestone was marked by the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony between Assumption University, the Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation, and the PRINC Group. This academic collaboration aims to establish a Faculty of Medicine dedicated to achieving international excellence.

The heart of this collaboration extends beyond the mere establishment of an educational institution; it is the weaving of a dream and the continuation of the profound legacy of Dr. Pongsak Viddayakorn, the founder of the Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation. His vision was to nurture medical personnel who embody the spirit of "giving" and are truly dedicated to elevating the quality of life for society and the community.

The journey of this Faculty of Medicine is built upon the foundation of a shared vision: to develop "Global Doctors" who are more than just healers, but individuals with a profound spirit of giving. This mission follows in the inspirational footsteps and ideals of the Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation and the St. Gabriel’s Foundation Thailand.

This collaboration was honored by the presence of Dr. Satit Viddayakorn, Chairman of the Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation, alongside Mr. Tanatorn Viddayakorn, Executive of the Pongsak Viddayakorn Foundation, and Dr. Witchayawet Rakkulchon, Co-CEO of PRINC Group. They joined the executive team of Assumption University, led by Rev. Bro. Dr. Sirichai Fonseka, President of Assumption University, Asst. Prof. Dr. Uree Cheasakul, Vice President, and Clin. Prof. Dr. Suwat Benjaponpitak, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.

Together, they aim to integrate public health professionalism with international educational standards, striving for excellence in medical treatment, ethics, and global communication skills. This initiative prepares future medical leaders for the digital health era while establishing a strong and sustainable public health foundation for Thailand.
