Mr. Pattana Promphat, Minister of Public Health, presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote address titled “Driving Thailand Toward a Hub for Wellness and Longevity: From National Potential to Global Trust.” He noted that Thailand holds key strengths in medical expertise, traditional knowledge and herbal resources, and a solid foundation in science and innovation. Combining innovation and scientific evidence with quality and safety standards, he said, is the path to global trust. He also outlined three missions for the future of Thai health: 1) improving public health, 2) creating value from national potential, and 3) building trust at the global level.
The event also features a Health, Wellness, and Longevity exhibition showcasing Thai health innovations, product booths from entrepreneurs, and research from the public and private sectors, along with spaces where researchers, investors, and distributors can connect, exchange knowledge, seek advice, and explore business partnerships.
