HP 1.1 Comprehensive Health Literacy Initiatives

Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) promotes health literacy among students and staff on both the Prasarnmit and Ongkharak campuses. The Student Affairs Division and the Human Resources Division lead this work through three main channels: online media, including the SWU SMILE website and University Facebook pages; health promotion events; and regular health and lifestyle training. Each channel aims to give students and staff accurate, easy-to-understand health information they can use to look after their own health and prevent health risks in daily life and at work.


Regular exhibitions, boards, and posters on health promotion


SWU displays health promotion boards and posters in high-traffic areas on both campuses, including SWU Canteen at Prasarnmit campus and Green Cafeteria SWU at Ongkharak campus. The materials cover topics such as healthy eating.

Regular provision of health-promotion knowledge through printed materials or websites


The Student Affairs Division runs SWU SMILE, the University's mental health website for students. The website provides knowledge on mental health and self-care, an online mental health self-assessment, and online registration for counseling, including video consultations with professional counselors.

The Faculty of Medicine (MED SWU) regularly produces health knowledge infographics for staff and the public through its PR channel, PRmedswu. Between September and October 2026, it published infographics on early-stage kidney disease, which may show no warning signs (16 September), and a flood-season series covering diseases and health hazards during floods (30 September), conjunctivitis (12 October) and respiratory diseases (16 October). Each infographic explains key symptoms, prevention and the warning signs that require medical attention.
