The Thai government and private sector are joining forces to support the medical industry with over $50 million in funding. This initiative aims to enhance the production of innovative medical products, equipment, and health services to meet international standards. The strategy is part of the "Medical Hub 2025" plan, which seeks to establish Thailand as a leading medical hub in the ASEAN region.

Key drivers include:

• Investing in R&D for medical biotechnology and AI.
• Building a network of cooperation between government, private sector, and educational institutions.
• Enhancing the skills of medical personnel and engineers through specialized courses.
• Developing digital infrastructure to support Smart Healthcare.

The outcomes for Thailand:
Thailand's medical industry not only generates revenue from the global market but also improves the country's public health system to meet WHO standards. It creates high-quality jobs in STEM fields and adds over $3.5 billion to the economy annually.

This is a significant step that has caught the world's attention.Thailand is not just the "kitchen of the world" but is becoming the "health hub of the world" for the future!
