"We will harness the medical expertise of the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital and the capabilities of Saha Group, renowned for enhancing the quality of life for Thai people through high-quality healthcare products, to help make our Senior Complex into a more comprehensive and well-equipped elderly care facility. This collaboration between the two parties will also advance knowledge, foster academic achievements, and further enhance the quality of life for the elderly in Thai society," said Clinical Professor Arthit.
