Our Story

Why We Started

MedLink began in 2024, when a group of Bangkok high school students who wanted careers in healthcare started organizing hospital visits to see the work up close.

That year we also joined a volunteer medical team on a trip to Mae Chaem District in Chiang Mai. Many families there live more than eight hours from the nearest hospital, and we saw how common skin conditions were.

We came back to raise money for medicine, bring doctors, teach first aid, and build tools that make screening easier to reach. Today MedLink runs four programs: Healthcare Access, Community Empowerment, Medical Exploration, and Research & Innovation.
