During the event, a live demonstration was held to present 5G smart ambulance, 5G Telemedicine and Home Isolation solutions for remote diagnosis and treatment of patients.

During his honorable speech, H.E. Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul stressed on the Ministry’s mission to enhance Thailand’s healthcare system.

During the ongoing pandemic where social distancing measures are adopted, the Department of Medical Services and Huawei will jointly explore the benefits of 5G in the healthcare field under this MoU. The joint projects will ensure better health services for Thai people. On this special occasion, I would like to thank Huawei for their support in providing the state-of-the-art equipment and their extensive industry knowledge. My gratitude also goes to the Department of Medical Services for their contribution that led to knowledge transfer in healthcare.”

“This MoU is a milestone that will bring rapid advances to medical care in the country,” declared Dr Somsak Akksilp, Director General of Department of Medical Services. “It is an honor for the DMS and our carefully selected hospitals to partner with Huawei for a cutting-edge initiative that will raise the level and standards of our hospital services and improve operational efficiency.”

It will also provide digital knowledge transfer, training and project supervision to hospital staff to enable them to operate efficiently and sustainably, for the benefit of both medical staff and patients. These technologies will initially be used for telemedicine solutions such as remote monitoring and diagnosis that will help reduce the risk of transmitting infections between doctors and patients significantly.  In addition, they will be used for emergency care services such as ambulance transportation, where useful information, such as real-time location, patients’ vital signs and video images are transmitted instantly, enabling rescue doctors to receive guidance for the best emergency care and the hospital team to prepare for treatment or surgery upon arrival.

Huawei remains committed to introducing digital technologies to create a strong, connected healthcare ecosystem that can make the experience better for patients, customers and medical staff, while improving efficiency and reducing costs.
