When health excellence meets luxury relaxation! BDMS Wellness Clinic, Thailand's preventive health center, continues its commitment to positioning Thailand as a global Wellness Hub under the "Phuket Wellness Hub" project. In collaboration with Sri Panwa Phuket and Bangkok Hospital Phuket, it combines superior relaxation with medical excellence, delivering comprehensive health care and a complete wellness tourism experience.

The trend of wellness tourism has become increasingly popular and is continuously growing worldwide, with projections that by 2027, the market value could reach $1.4 trillion. Thailand, known as one of the world's leading wellness tourism destinations, saw its wellness tourism market valued at nearly $17 billion in 2019, ranking 7th globally. The sector is gradually recovering following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, the wellness tourism market in Thailand has grown by 36% from 2020 to 2022, reflecting a significant increase in health-focused travelers and spending on health services. Recognizing the potential of wellness tourism in Thailand, especially in Phuket, BDMS Wellness Clinic has formed a business collaboration with two leading organizations: Sri Panwa Phuket and Bangkok Hospital Phuket. The three organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on October 1, 2023, at Baba Space I & II, Sri Panwa Phuket, to create the most comprehensive and perfect center of scientific health excellence in Thailand.

Dr. Tanupol Virulhakarnun, Chairman of the Executive Committee of BDMS Wellness Clinic and BDMS Wellness Resort, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company Limited, stated, “With the increasing number of high-potential tourists in Phuket last year, BDMS Wellness Clinic recognized the potential of Phuket in the growth of the wellness tourism industry. Thus, we have partnered with two key allies, Sri Panwa Phuket, a 6-star hotel and resort, and Bangkok Hospital Phuket, to combine the expertise of all three organizations to provide a comprehensive health experience that encompasses body, mind, and spirit, integrating medical excellence and personalized health care under the supervision of BDMS Wellness Clinic with the luxurious and tranquil relaxation of Sri Panwa, aiming for full preventive health care and restoration of bodily integrity, while helping elevate Phuket as a leading health destination in Southeast Asia.”

Mr. Songkran Issara, CEO of Charn Issara Development Public Company Limited, added, “Sri Panwa is one of the dream destinations for both Thai and international tourists, offering villa-style accommodations that provide exceptional privacy for guests, along with ample space for various activities within the hotel. This has received excellent feedback from tourists. Partnering with BDMS Wellness Clinic and Bangkok Hospital Phuket is a way to leverage each party's expertise to propel Thailand towards becoming a global Wellness Hub, providing a luxurious holistic relaxation experience for tourists worldwide, allowing them to rejuvenate and take care of their health simultaneously.”

Dr. Narin Boonjongjaroen, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Bangkok Hospital Group 6, commented on this collaboration, “For the past 30 years, Bangkok Hospital Phuket has continuously pursued its main mission of promoting health and well-being for the community in Phuket and the Andaman region by providing comprehensive medical services that meet international standards to millions of Thai citizens and tourists visiting Phuket each year. However, good health does not come solely from treatment; it must start with prevention. Signing this collaboration with BDMS Wellness Clinic and Sri Panwa Phuket is a positive sign that will help elevate health care for the community and is a significant step in developing Phuket into a global Wellness Tourism hub and a sustainable quality health tourism destination.”

The collaboration of these three leading organizations not only creates a new definition of comprehensive health care through the integration of health sciences and the art of relaxation for holistic body and mind rejuvenation but also propels Thailand towards becoming a true Wellness Destination of the World, aligning with the government’s policy “Ignite Thailand: Uniting Power, Thailand as One,” which aims to drive the health tourism industry in Thailand. Additionally, it strengthens BDMS Wellness Clinic's position as a leader in health and wellness tourism in the Andaman economic region, demonstrating its commitment to delivering sustainable health to people worldwide.
