To bolster Thailand's commitment to becoming a world-class wellness hub and stimuate wellness tourism, BDMS Wellness Clinic, in collaboration with Bangkok Hospital Phuket and Sri panwa Phuket, is set to launch BDMS Wellness Clinic at Sri panwa Phuket. This strategic partnership will be formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the three entities on October 1, 2024, at the Yaya Convention Room within Sri panwa Phuket.
