HP 7.2 Comprehensive Healthy Ageing Programs

Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) delivers a comprehensive and multidimensional set of healthy and active ageing programs that support university personnel, pre-ageing adults, and the ageing population in the surrounding community. These programs promote physical well-being, psychological resilience, social engagement, and economic preparedness, reflecting the university’s long-term commitment to healthy ageing and community well-being.

1. Awareness programs on healthy and active ageing

SWU organizes public awareness initiatives such as the SWU Active Ageing Forum, which provides knowledge exchange on gerontology, active-ageing lifestyles, chronic-disease prevention, and community-based elderly care models. These events target university personnel, academics, students, and community members, strengthening shared understanding of ageing-related health challenges and best practices.

2. Ageing-skill programs for pre-ageing personnel

To prepare pre-retirement employees for later life, SWU implements structured skill-building and readiness programs under the Ongkharak Model, which focus on financial planning, self-care skills, psychological readiness, lifelong learning, and adapting to ageing transitions. These programs ensure that personnel entering older adulthood possess the tools needed to maintain independence and quality of life.

3. Employment programs for ageing individuals

The university also supports active ageing through employment and re-employment initiatives, offering job opportunities that align with the capacity and experience of older individuals. These initiatives enable ageing adults to remain economically active, reduce financial vulnerability, and promote continued social engagement.

4. Empowerment programs for ageing population in surrounding communities

Through units such as the SWU Elderly Care Network, the university provides empowerment activities for community elders, including health-promotion workshops, digital-literacy sessions, psychosocial support programs, mobility-enhancement exercises, and community-based care training. These programs strengthen well-being, autonomy, and participation among elderly residents in nearby communities.

5. Other innovative healthy ageing measures

SWU expands healthy-ageing impact through innovative approaches, including:

  • Intergenerational learning activities that connect students with elderly communities.

  • Community-based rehabilitation using physical-therapy and health-science expertise.

  • Digital-health promotion through online platforms and mobile outreach.

  • Collaborative ageing research to improve accessibility, universal design, and active-ageing policy insights.

These innovations demonstrate SWU’s commitment to advancing holistic and sustainable ageing support beyond conventional health programs.

Summary

Overall, SWU demonstrates comprehensive coverage across multiple dimensions of healthy ageing—awareness, skills, employment, empowerment, and innovation—fulfilling the highest level of the HP 7.2 criterion with strong evidence across university and community settings.
