The School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Phayao, hosted faculty members and sixth-year pharmacy students from the University of Utah, United States, under the Global Health Pharmacy Clerkship program, for an exchange of experiences in the production and provision of standardized herbal medicines at Mae Chai Hospital. Mae Chai Hospital has served as a model area for the community-based development of herbal medicine production.
The visit took place on January 28, 2026, and was warmly welcomed by Dr. Samrit Tantiwatthanakul, Director of Mae Chai Hospital, together with the hospital’s executive team.
