Nursing College Conducts Community Outreach at Wat Phakini Nat: Health Promotion and Dengue Fever Prevention

On October 12, 2026, the College of Nursing and Health at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, led by Assistant Professor (Special) Dr. Surang Chueawanitchakorn, brought students to the Wat Phakini Nat community (near Sang Hi Bridge) to carry out health promotion and mosquito-borne disease prevention activities. The initiative was supported by Public Health Service Center 31 (Erb-Jit Tangsubutr) and local public health volunteers.
The activities were divided into two parts:
Basic health screenings for community members, including vital sign checks, blood glucose testing (DTX), weight and height measurements, nutritional status assessment, and health counseling.
 The “Wat Phakini Nat United Against Aedes Mosquitoes” project, which provided education on the mosquito life cycle, mosquito-borne diseases, prevention methods, and risk reduction strategies—including the “5P-1K” protocol for dengue fever prevention. Participants also collaborated to identify and eliminate Aedes mosquito breeding sites and applied Abate (larvicide) throughout the community.
 These activities aim to provide students with hands-on, practical experience while raising public health awareness and fostering community participation in the sustainable prevention of dengue fever.
