Muang Thai Life Assurance continues its Saeng Kaew Project for the 8th year.
Muang Thai Life Insurance and Muang Thai Smile Foundation are continuing their “Saeng Kaew Project: Cataract Surgery for Underprivileged Elderly” for the eighth consecutive year. In collaboration with the Department of Social Development and Welfare, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital in Samut Sakhon Province, the project aims to expand access to cataract treatment for elderly and vulnerable groups in underprivileged “self-help settlements,” targeting the treatment of 75 eyes by 2026. Furthermore, Muang Thai Life Insurance is providing Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital with an additional 200,000 baht to support the ongoing assistance of underprivileged elderly individuals.
September 11, 2569 – Mr. Sara Lamsam, Chief Executive Officer of Muang Thai Life Assurance Public Company Limited, stated that Muang Thai Life Assurance and the Muang Thai Smile Foundation have consistently prioritized promoting the quality of life for the elderly, particularly by helping underprivileged seniors access necessary medical care. Vision problems significantly impact daily life, including self-care, work, and family time.
The Saeng Kaew Project has been running for eight consecutive years. What the company wants to see is elderly people with cataracts who lack access to treatment being able to regain their sight and live better daily lives. Regaining sight could mean being able to care for themselves again, returning to familiar activities, or gaining more confidence in life. This year, we are expanding our collaboration with the Department of Social Development and Welfare to provide assistance that reaches more elderly and vulnerable groups in self-help settlements.
The "Saeng Kaew Cataract Surgery Project for Underprivileged Elderly" has been running since 2560, a collaboration between Muang Thai Life Assurance, the Muang Thai Smile Foundation, and Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital in Samut Sakhon Province. Its aim is to assist elderly individuals with cataracts who lack the financial resources for treatment. Over the years, the project has provided a total of 8,300,000 baht, enabling the treatment of 830 eyes, with 735 eyes currently receiving treatment.
In 2026, Muang Thai Life Assurance and the Muang Thai Smile Foundation, in collaboration with the Department of Social Development and Welfare, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, implemented the Saeng Kaew Project to assist elderly and vulnerable groups in underprivileged areas within "Self-Sufficiency Settlements" under the care of the Department of Social Development and Welfare. The project aimed to treat 75 cataracts with a budget of 750,000 baht, covering five Self-Sufficiency Settlements in Buriram, Surin, Yala, and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces.
On this occasion, Muang Thai Life Insurance collaborated on the "Saeng Kaew Project: Cataract Surgery for Underprivileged Elderly" for the 8th year, receiving a donation of 200,000 baht from Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital in Samut Sakhon Province to support the project.
Dr. Patthasaran Thanasuphan, Director of Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital, accepted the donation to support projects and expand access to treatment for underprivileged elderly individuals. Also present were Ms. Pitraporn Bunyarattaphan, Vice President of the Muang Thai Smile Foundation; Mr. Pramote Sakkamjorn, Senior Vice President; and Dr. Athip Kamolserirat, Vice President of Muang Thai Life Assurance Public Company Limited, along with executives from the Department of Social Development and Welfare and Ban Phaeo Eye Hospital, at the Muang Thai Life Assurance headquarters.
