Navamindradhiraj University, Public university in Bangkok, Thailand.
Navamindradhiraj University is a public institution in Bangkok focused on medical education and healthcare services. The campus houses specialized faculties including Medicine based at Vajira Hospital and the Kuakarun Faculty of Nursing, which operate as integrated teaching and treatment centers.
The institution was renamed Navamindradhiraj University through a royal decree in 2011, honoring King Bhumibol Adulyadej and marking a turning point in its development. This change reflected a strengthened commitment to medical professional training and expanded healthcare services for the public.

The university provides comprehensive medical training facilities, particularly through the attached Vajira Hospital, which serves dual roles as both an educational and public health center. Access to certain hospital areas may be restricted, so visitors should plan accordingly and inquire about permitted zones.
The Faculty of Science and Health Technology launched Thailand's first Bachelor's degree in paramedicine in 2014, establishing a new path for emergency medical service professionals. This program was created to meet growing demand for specialized training in emergency response.
