Additionally, this instructional media was also presented to Ratchasuda Institute, an institution for higher education for disabled adults, to enhance access to quality dental health services for visually impaired individuals. The handover took place at the Office of the President, Mahidol University.

The Bas-relief illustrations book was developed by the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, in collaboration with the H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Mobile Dental Service Center. It received financial support from the Media Production Initiative to Reduce Concerns for the Visually Impaired, MUDT, and Mahidol University’s Social Innovation initiative to promote inclusivity in healthcare services.
