MedLink Pathways is a student-run nonprofit bringing doctors, medicine, and first aid training to highland communities in Mae Chaem, Chiang Mai.

doctors brought to highland communities

children taught first aid, across 10+ hours of training
MedLink started in 2024 as a group of Bangkok high school students who wanted to see medicine up close. On our first trip to Mae Chaem, we saw how hard it is to reach care in the highlands. Since then we have raised money for medicine, brought doctors to the mountains, taught first aid, and built tools for earlier screening.
Founded by Kundol Tangruthaiwanich, with the co-founders.
