An older demographic plays into longevity segment
Ms Nannaphat says the country has shifted to a decentralised model of care with resource allocation moving away from major medical centres.
DKSH Thailand Ltd, a market expansion services provider, says preventive healthcare, longevity and healthy ageing are becoming prominent trends in Thailand this year.Preventive healthcare is expected to play an increasingly important role in the country, with a growing focus on early detection, wellness and disease prevention, according to the DKSH Healthcare Business Unit.
As Thailand transitions to an aged society, the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including heart disease, hypertension and diabetes, is anticipated to rise, said Nannaphat Limkome, general manager of healthcare, pharma commercialisation and business development at DKSH Thailand.
In recent years, she said the government has intensified its focus on preventive healthcare.
