Challenges and Opportunities
Community healthcare faces multiple challenges, including disparities in access to healthcare services, varying quality of treatment across regions, and limited medical resources, especially among the elderly, low-income populations, and rural residents. However, advances in medical technology and telemedicine provide important opportunities for delivering faster and more convenient healthcare services to the public.
In addition, government policies promoting Thailand as a Medical Hub support hospitals in developing modern healthcare networks that meet international standards, helping ensure broader access to medical services for all citizens.
Management Approach and Value Creation
Sikarin Public Company Limited prioritizes expanding public access to healthcare services by building Community Health Networks in collaboration with public health centers, state hospitals, and rural health clinics. These efforts provide proactive medical services, reduce travel costs, and shorten waiting times for treatment. The Company has also developed Home-Based Care programs for elderly patients, bedridden individuals, and those with chronic illnesses. Medical teams, including doctors and nurses, provide home visits, offering health advice and appropriate care to enhance quality of life and reduce hospital admissions. Additionally, the Company continues to expand the Sikarin Connect Mobile Hospital project to underserved provinces, offering basic health screenings, consultations, and vaccination services, helping to alleviate public healthcare system burdens and increase healthcare access efficiently.
Developing Medical Personnel for Community Health Trends
Sikarin Public Company Limited recognizes the importance of healthcare personnel in elevating community healthcare quality. The Company has initiated community healthcare workforce development programs in partnership with nursing universities and medical institutes to train specialized nurses and expand the number of healthcare workers available for rural areas.
Local public health officers are also trained to provide consultations, conduct basic disease screenings, and deliver efficient healthcare services. The Company promotes continuous education through e-Learning programs on medical guidelines, new medical technologies, and patient management, strengthening healthcare service quality and expertise at all levels.
Expanding Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Programs
Sikarin Public Company Limited actively promotes preventive health initiatives aimed at empowering the public with knowledge for effective self-care. One major project is the Healthy Workplace Program, providing proactive health screenings and lifestyle consultations at workplaces. The Company has expanded the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Prevention Program to prevent diabetes, heart disease, and obesity by promoting exercise and proper nutrition. Vaccination campaigns have also been expanded to protect vulnerable groups, such as HPV vaccinations for adolescent girls and influenza vaccinations for the elderly, aiming to build immunity, reduce disease risk, and curb outbreaks in society.
Promoting Research and Medical Innovation for Community Health
Sikarin Public Company Limited plans to collaborate with universities and research institutions to develop health innovations, particularly in Genomic Medicine for early genetic disease screening. Additionally, the Company is developing Smart Hospital & Green Hospital models, emphasizing clean energy usage, medical waste reduction, and eco-friendly hospital operations. The Company also supports community health research and education, focusing on analyzing health risk factors and designing appropriate health promotion programs for different population groups.
