Employees at the Porsche site in Saxony are celebrating a special production milestone. Today, the two-millionth Porsche to be built in Leipzig. The Panamera model line has been in operation in Leipzig since 2009. “The success story of our Leipzig location is closely linked to the Panamera,” says Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Management Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH. “Like the location itself, the model represents growth and change.” <br /><br />From 2009, the Panamera was initially built and painted within the Volkswagen Group. The assembly plant first opened in 2002, and when it was expanded into a full factory it turned the Panamera into a ‘true Leipziger’, with production of the second generation starting in 2016. In November 2013, the first body construction plant and paint shop started production at the location. “The expansion to a full factory was a groundbreaking decision for the site,” says Rupp. “As a full factory, we manufacture models in their entirety, from the construction of the body to the final assembly. This has laid the foundation for new car projects and continued growth.” Today, Porsche is an important economic driver and employer in the central German region, with the factory employing more than 4,400 people. “Our employees are our biggest success factor. Without the commitment of our team, there were many challenges we wouldn’t have been able to master,” says Rupp. In recent years, the factory has evolved into a centre of expertise for electromobility. In future, it will be possible to manufacture three types of powertrain – combustion, electric and hybrid drives – flexibly on a single line. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz6E3A9lb0FgwyIg12kYPYOqyGKNercN_7nMP5WYoSQZuiKx371Mc6pUCusTmkMQ2KVy1Bh_EAgmTI0CjOzVNV2TAEjl11-QINjlVAPZT538okBFrjeE8TcGZnnqXlYJDtNzg9Oj33rfSxXVlo9Jq8dzIffF35Pkx7tLrSxioblmprca8iLYlkOy0CEbG/s1000/PA22P4ZIX0002_low.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz6E3A9lb0FgwyIg12kYPYOqyGKNercN_7nMP5WYoSQZuiKx371Mc6pUCusTmkMQ2KVy1Bh_EAgmTI0CjOzVNV2TAEjl11-QINjlVAPZT538okBFrjeE8TcGZnnqXlYJDtNzg9Oj33rfSxXVlo9Jq8dzIffF35Pkx7tLrSxioblmprca8iLYlkOy0CEbG/s16000/PA22P4ZIX0002_low.jpg" /></a></div><br />Production in Leipzig: smart, lean, green – and the winner of multiple awards </b><br /><br />The Porsche factory in Leipzig has already won multiple awards, including for its ‘smart factory’ approaches.

The product retains the key feature of being the 'Deliciously Enjoyable Protein Snack'. There are two flavors including “Pork Crunchy with Almonds” <br /> - a whopping 9 grams of protein from both pork and almonds, and “Pork Crunchy with roast chili” - combining dried roasted chili with pork for a spicier experience with full-on lean. Both flavors are chock full of protein in every mouthful, and always made with high grades of pork, which is roasted rather than fried, for a product that is crispy and delicious, and a non-guilty pleasure. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WJeDJLSj9lyMDZLVrynlPF5TARnBKH-h_7KKON8iPNVFe0m4EBOJGIHMFakrbIHF6bkQP0kSBmJ_R03RECTuGDrj4qW5Djmn_iS8a4r6e4gv7CARvtqnYRsqwkeB8TqllsOT7FNXDzteOzFXHpSFqqOEGS_-EUwWpsO_EDY7omSYab0rTOrNVVngAUFE/s1000/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WJeDJLSj9lyMDZLVrynlPF5TARnBKH-h_7KKON8iPNVFe0m4EBOJGIHMFakrbIHF6bkQP0kSBmJ_R03RECTuGDrj4qW5Djmn_iS8a4r6e4gv7CARvtqnYRsqwkeB8TqllsOT7FNXDzteOzFXHpSFqqOEGS_-EUwWpsO_EDY7omSYab0rTOrNVVngAUFE/s16000/5.jpg" /></a></div><br />In addition, the company is rolling out a comprehensive marketing communication activity that covers consumer awareness and engagement through both offline and online media. “James-Jirayu Tangsrisuk” has been appointed as the company’s new presenter, representing a new generation who are health conscious, playful, and full of positive energy.

These conditions can profoundly affect the entire GI tract, from the esophagus to the rectum and anus. For instance, acid reflux can afflict the esophagus, while stomach problems might stem from stomach function abnormalities that standard endoscopy cannot detect abnormalities which can explain the symptoms/. Patients grappling with intestinal issues like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may endure distressing symptoms such as bloating and constipation. While general physicians can address GI problems to a certain extent, some patients endure a generic course of treatment with limited symptom relief. At the Gastrointestinal Motility Center, Bumrungrad International Hospital, our team of doctors capitalizes on their expertise and the latest medical technology to effectively manage patients dealing with complex or challenging cases with gastrointestinal motility disorders. Biofeedback therapy is one such approach that proves beneficial for GI motility issues, offering relief for constipation resulting from inappropriate pushing during defecation. This technique boasts a success rate of 60% in providing complete symptom relief and offers partial relief for the remaining cases, even reducing patient reliance on medication. <br /><br />Additionally, we harness technology to measure the presence of stomach acid in the esophagus and meticulously record the frequency and severity of acid reflux episodes. This vital data empowers our doctors to make precise diagnoses and craft effective treatment plans for patients suffering from gastroesophageal acid reflux. Our doctors judiciously select the most suitable diagnostic technology, ensuring our patients receive the best care through accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies.” <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8ES9_r9-UbQ95b3c3guHaY83xzDJRbJ1jFml06jfCwDzTOnTVVuPI5G6rXBEdnz2ehRd-BaMS6BliqRw89fwjX2m2rCjR16fv0ws7j3lII0sQPKaFJvFA_jJW2KnXlYJ7FfkE0nGEg_DzjPIaZyqaJ4vv_gTzgMD_wtv82yyjv2mZCtJV4fojAo9N4J5/s1000/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8ES9_r9-UbQ95b3c3guHaY83xzDJRbJ1jFml06jfCwDzTOnTVVuPI5G6rXBEdnz2ehRd-BaMS6BliqRw89fwjX2m2rCjR16fv0ws7j3lII0sQPKaFJvFA_jJW2KnXlYJ7FfkE0nGEg_DzjPIaZyqaJ4vv_gTzgMD_wtv82yyjv2mZCtJV4fojAo9N4J5/s16000/6.jpg" /></a></div><br />Clinical Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tossapol Kerdsirichairat, Gastroenterologist & Advanced Endoscopy Specialist at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, states “The Digestive Disease Center employs cutting-edge endoscopic technology to comprehensively assess GI health, offering a thorough examination from the esophagus to the stomach and intestines. These advanced endoscopes can be introduced into the body either through the mouth or rectum. Endoscopy serves as a powerful diagnostic tool, capable of detecting and identifying abnormal intestinal tissues and diseases. It not only facilitates real-time identification but also allows for the simultaneous removal of problematic tissues or the collection of tissue samples for further testing and precise diagnosis.” <br /><br />One of the significant advantages of endoscopy is its non-invasive and non-surgical nature, which significantly reduces patient recovery time and minimizes the potential for complications. The Digestive Disease Center provides a range of specialized endoscopic procedures tailored to address specific gastrointestinal conditions and patient needs. These advanced procedures contribute to early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment planning, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUWYiOr6Fnvtvg4v75bRNQPdbUTsy5y-aGD1Nb0Mut9cNJlTPO98pkZsj9RhxAJEu_5OWLlrXQlB-t6pddvQBdYezkSfcRtMS3HDMm1hQiMJlRkEn5icuLstWLe2cJfR-KACVPPBqumoDTh4PHWmS-h9jFQy5Fg8s6COMBOk7Gz2N652lbNWTpILXu45Pi/s1000/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUWYiOr6Fnvtvg4v75bRNQPdbUTsy5y-aGD1Nb0Mut9cNJlTPO98pkZsj9RhxAJEu_5OWLlrXQlB-t6pddvQBdYezkSfcRtMS3HDMm1hQiMJlRkEn5icuLstWLe2cJfR-KACVPPBqumoDTh4PHWmS-h9jFQy5Fg8s6COMBOk7Gz2N652lbNWTpILXu45Pi/s16000/7.jpg" /></a></div><br />Some notable endoscopic procedures offered at the Digestive Disease Center include: <br /><b>1.

EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound): </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to visualize organs near the GI tract and collect tissue samples for precise diagnosis, particularly in cases where standard endoscopy may not suffice. </li></ul><b>3. FTRD (Full-Thickness Resection Device): </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Primarily utilized to resect pre-cancerous or early-stage malignant tissue in the large intestine and stomach. It can non-surgically remove up to 3 cm of tissue without leaving a scar on the patient’s stomach. </li></ul><b>4. TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication): </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sutures the esophageal sphincter via an oral entry endoscope to treat acid reflux or GERD through a non-surgical intervention. </li></ul><b>5. ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty): </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Uses an endoscopic suturing device to aid patients in achieving weight-loss by non-surgically reducing the size of the stomach. ESG can result in a significant reduction in body weight, particularly when combined with pharmaceutical intervention. </li></ul>In addition, the 'Pancreatic Care Clinic' at Bumrungrad's Digestive Disease Center specializes in diagnosing and treating pancreatic issues, including cancer. Bumrungrad features a multidisciplinary tumor board, uniting specialists for optimal treatment plans. Moreover, the hospital leads in genetic testing for pancreatic cancer risk, an initiative first established in Asia in alignment with Johns Hopkins Hospital standards. Early testing and diagnosis significantly improve cancer treatment success and survival rates. <br /><br />Furthermore, the GI Genetics Clinic is vital for cancer patients, those with a family cancer history, or health concerns. Screening for gastric cancers should begin at 40, and for colorectal cancers at 45, following general medical guidelines. These screenings are crucial for early detection, enhancing treatment efficacy and overall patient well-being. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArMyNeLKgBFY3DF0kvBcduipl4FRY-qqI4f2HKcTCRGvd4IZkf2W-Ee_BQ-jo31oDehRarIdbck8PZ4DjB5W9ezwbjSm1w3N3YJ0ph-YoHpaB-s1EbqmeQS6Ol_s_V-y7y1XJntxTExvDMfP6Ytcxj8ygJkizTJjoYTpTq8O7uYCErAR6C1txNoxGmMXY/s1000/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArMyNeLKgBFY3DF0kvBcduipl4FRY-qqI4f2HKcTCRGvd4IZkf2W-Ee_BQ-jo31oDehRarIdbck8PZ4DjB5W9ezwbjSm1w3N3YJ0ph-YoHpaB-s1EbqmeQS6Ol_s_V-y7y1XJntxTExvDMfP6Ytcxj8ygJkizTJjoYTpTq8O7uYCErAR6C1txNoxGmMXY/s16000/8.jpg" /></a></div><br />Asst.

Prof. Dr. Krit Pongpirul, MD, MPH, PhD, a Preventive and Integrative Medicine Specialist at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, shares, “A multitude of individuals grapple with abdominal discomforts, from stomachaches and bloating/flatulence to digestive irregularities like constipation and diarrhea. Furthermore, despite conscientious efforts with diet and exercise, issues such as overweight conditions, fatty liver, and high cholesterol persist. Traditional diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, often fall short in identifying the root cause. It is alarming when patients, out of desperation, turn to questionable clinics, potentially jeopardizing their health and resources. At Bumrungrad, we recognize that a significant number of these challenges arise from imbalances in the gut microbiome. That is why our “Integrative Microbiome Clinic” has adopted a holistic approach to gastrointestinal health. We delve deep with tests focusing on gut microbiome analysis and digestion functionality. Our aim is to develop tailored probiotic therapies and other interventions, aligned with each patient’s unique microbial profile. Our commitment is to provide comprehensive and holistic care, addressing and preventing digestive issues, and ensuring our patients enjoy long-term abdominal and overall well-being.” <br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wjc9XOhIIpvZIDWbLzCxO8h9uiDk7tnCObcs0nMz6Rv9eMHnrpuzBGB-nnhvDJ6sxu-4wtZmNb1C6ByeRMBXth9HS6Akz1kDwAFm_RmpY2-u3Mxo36cS0VBu2kb1mEHjFJk0QiJOSdRkS8XOBKc70rma7Bf30KOrMuX4IulcP7ckG-VKnXf2zQbs4OPt/s1000/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wjc9XOhIIpvZIDWbLzCxO8h9uiDk7tnCObcs0nMz6Rv9eMHnrpuzBGB-nnhvDJ6sxu-4wtZmNb1C6ByeRMBXth9HS6Akz1kDwAFm_RmpY2-u3Mxo36cS0VBu2kb1mEHjFJk0QiJOSdRkS8XOBKc70rma7Bf30KOrMuX4IulcP7ckG-VKnXf2zQbs4OPt/s16000/11.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Prof. Rungsun Rerknimitr, M.D. Director of the Center for Medical Innovation and Operations Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Bumrungrad International Hospital stands at the forefront of microbiome analysis advancements.

The spirits business has delivered a strong performance in both EBITDA and EBITDA margin. EBITDA margin expanded from 24.7% to 25.4%, with EBITDA reached Baht 23,763 million. The margin expansion was driven by price adjustment and changes in the portfolio mix in Thailand amid higher consumption of brown spirits. The international business, including Myanmar, has also reported a strong performance with increases in both sales revenue and EBITDA. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih-Fj2Elt2_j_HM4OY7120PAdDE3bX8gGDuWUdn-SBAbTiTOb2TbY6m7oSoFn7YX_gwoxH2xtlKU76Jhzge4KPESXNrrYV1qlHBbSxcX0qbgB8kthf7ybC1Q1fbkK4S_fH9gDvTdV5Nn68yawYZKznZV60nnDe_F75K2KpW3r2T6l4tmsrfkWwHjtZm5KL/s1000/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih-Fj2Elt2_j_HM4OY7120PAdDE3bX8gGDuWUdn-SBAbTiTOb2TbY6m7oSoFn7YX_gwoxH2xtlKU76Jhzge4KPESXNrrYV1qlHBbSxcX0qbgB8kthf7ybC1Q1fbkK4S_fH9gDvTdV5Nn68yawYZKznZV60nnDe_F75K2KpW3r2T6l4tmsrfkWwHjtZm5KL/s16000/6.jpg" /></a></div><br />Mr. Prapakon Thongtheppairot, Executive Vice President, Group CFO and Chief Spirit Product Group</b>, said: “Our spirits business has recorded a resilient performance with a healthy improvement in profitability.

Overall sales revenue increased by 0.7% to Baht 93,262 million in 9M23 even as total sales volume declined 5.2%. An increase in brand investment, marketing activities and competitive pressures, coupled with rising key raw material and packaging costs, contributed to EBITDA declining 19.8% to Baht 10,783 million.” <br /><br /><b><u>Beer – Thailand </u></b><br /><br /><b>Mr. Songwit Sritham, Chief Beer Business – Thailand</b>, said: “Our ability to grow the beer business and market position is underpinned by three strategic priorities: Commercial Leadership, Winning Brand Portfolio and Cost Competitiveness. <br /><br />We reinforced Commercial Leadership for the Chang portfolio through consumer engagement built on solidifying their love for the brand. The focus on “Friendship, Football & Music” has helped to cement the brand’s relationship with drinkers and drive consumer engagement towards points of purchase. To bring the brand closer to customers, we collaborate closely with other product groups across ThaiBev to generate synergies and efficiencies that further enhance the distribution network and route-to-market capabilities. <br /><br />We have also built a Winning Brand Portfolio and developed a strong consumer offering under our flagship Chang brand. Chang Cold Brew, launched in 2019, is now amongst the top-five brands in Thailand by volume. Chang Unpasteurized was launched at the end of 2022 as a high-premium variant with encouraging results to date. Meanwhile, Chang Espresso Lager has won gold medals in quality awards for three years in a row. <br /><br />In order to improve our productivity and cost effectiveness, we have set our focus on Cost Competitiveness which centers around four main aspects, namely; beer production cost savings, supply chain reallocation of resources, lower advertising and promotion (A&P) spending, and improvement in productivity as reflected in a better ratio of net sales to headcount.” <br /><br /><b><u>Beer – Vietnam </u></b><br /><br /><b>Mr. Lester Tan Teck Chuan, General Director, SABECO</b>, said: “Vietnam’s economy was adversely affected by geopolitical events that constrained its export activities and the growth of its gross domestic product. Nevertheless, we remain committed to focusing on maintaining superior product quality, building a professional sales force and developing our Winning Brand Portfolio. By executing our strategic imperatives, we seek to elevate Bia Saigon as an important symbol of national pride for Vietnam.” <br /><br />SABECO constantly focuses on growing the business, improving brand portfolio, and increasing market share to support the business’ ambition for overall growth. <br /><br />SABECO won four Gold and four Silver Medals from the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) in January 2023, for the exceptional quality of its beers. The company also received recognition for its marketing campaigns, “Rise with Vietnam” and “Bia Saigon Lager Tet 2022”, which won Gold and Silver awards respectively at the MMA Global Conference and Exposition in April 2023. <br /><br />To maintain profitability, SABECO continues to enhance production excellence and implement stringent cost management measures to manage its expenses. The company is also working towards better integrating its vast network of subsidiary and associate breweries to improve operational and cost synergies. <br /><br />The SABECO 4.0 digital transformation initiative will help to enhance the company's competitiveness, consolidate its leading position, and achieve its long-term objectives. <br /><br /><b><u>Non-alcoholic Beverages </u></b><br /><br />In 9M23, the Group’s non-alcoholic beverages business recorded a notable 15.6% rise in sales revenue to Baht 14,822 million year-on-year, lifted by an 8.7% increase in sales volume amid higher consumption. Improved production efficiency arising from increased utilization partially offsets higher costs from brand investment, marketing activities, and raw materials.

Therefore, we have accelerated our efforts to grow the business by taking proactive steps focusing on Brand Portfolio Management, Speed for the Growth, and Expand to New Market.” <br /><br />With a mission to build a diversified product portfolio, the Group has set its focus on “Brand Portfolio Management” to cater to the needs of every consumer across various groups for all occasions including the growing number of health-conscious consumers, while continuing to enhance its connection with consumers through various strategies to strengthen its core brands. <br /><br />The Group strives to drive growth for “OISHI Green Tea” by constantly expanding its consumer base and increasing consumption. The Group is also building awareness and communicating the benefits of catechins, which are natural antioxidants found in green tea, through the launch of “OISHI Goodness of Tea” campaign with the concept of “Good Things Never Change”. It has also been working on extending distribution channels and the consumer base for “OISHI Chakulza”, a canned ready-to-drink carbonated tea that has been increasingly popular through the campaign, “OISHI Chakulza Green Tea Zaa Medee.” <br /><br />Crystal has reaffirmed its position as the number one drinking water brand in Thailand that is certified to meet international quality standards where this year, the brand has implemented a new marketing strategy under the “Think Clear, Drink Crystal” concept. This new concept marks Crystal as the first drinking water brand in Thailand to encourage positive thinking, by drawing consumer attention to the emotional benefits of water drinking in addition to its functional benefit. <br /><br />The Group’s carbonated soft drink brand ‘est’ unveiled comprehensive rebranding that included a new brand appearance and formulation to better target young consumers through the concept, “Born to be Awesome”. The campaign brought together top Asian icons as presenters to revitalize the brand and inspire young individuals to express their unique awesomeness confidently. <br /><br />To drive the non-alcoholic beverage business towards sustainable growth, the Group has applied the “Speed for the Growth” approach that focuses on strengthening its business foundation and improving the efficiency of production and distribution to increase its consumer base, sales revenue, and market share across its production portfolio. In addition, the Group continues to sees good growth opportunities in the ASEAN region and strives to extend the presence of its core brands to regional markets through its “Expand to New Market” approach. <br /><br /><b><u>Food </u></b><br /><br />As dine-in traffic at restaurants increased, and reflecting successful ongoing efforts to improve brand visibility and accessibility, the food business registered a 19.2% year-on-year increase in sales revenue to Baht 14,296 million in 9M23.

We plan to ride this momentum to grow our business through store expansions and same-store sales growth.” <br /><br />One of the food business’ key growth engines for the year is to deepen its penetration throughout the country and expand the number of stores across its food brands to ensure that consumers can easily access their favorite restaurants and products wherever they are.

We believe in nurturing high-calibre and engaged employees who want to grow with the company for the long term. This year, we are pleased to see our efforts earning recognitions especially from the young generation, as organizations must work together with employees to support their growth and create learning experiences that ultimately strengthen both individual and company performance.” <br /><br />The 2023 employee engagement survey registered a remarkable increase from 80% to 83% while Thailand average dropped from 69% in 2022 to 65% in 2023 with a downward trend since 2020 according to Kincentric. A key contributor is ThaiBev’s belief in “Human Capital with Limitless Opportunities” offering career, connectivity and contribution opportunities to all employees. Employees are encouraged to take charge of their self-development through individual development plans (IDP), which help them to set clear, achievable, and relevant goals that align with their aspirations while people managers also set clear goals to support and mentor employees. <br /><br />In line with our Enabling Sustainable Growth strategy, the Group ensures that all of its employees are provided with equal opportunities in terms of roles, recognition, and growth through its career-based development program.

The Company’s vision is to be the stable and sustainable ASEAN Leader in beverage and food business. <br /><br />ThaiBev was listed on the Singapore Exchange Mainboard in 2006. In 2012, the Company expanded beyond Thailand with its acquisition of Fraser and Neave, Limited (“<b>F&N</b>”), a well-established conglomerate with a portfolio of highly recognized beverage brands. In 2017, ThaiBev further strengthened its regional presence by acquiring stakes in the Grand Royal Group (“<b>GRG</b>”), the largest whisky player in Myanmar, and in Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (“<b>SABECO</b>”), a leading beer producer in Vietnam, which makes ThaiBev the largest beer player by volume in Southeast Asia. <br /><br />Today, ThaiBev’s business comprises four segments – spirits, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, and food. In Thailand, the Group operates 19 distilleries, 3 breweries, and 20 non-alcoholic beverage production facilities and is supported by an extensive distribution network spanning over 500,000 points of sale. ThaiBev is present in over 90 countries, including 5 production facilities in Scotland which are known for producing single malt scotch whiskies such as Balblair, Old Pulteney, and Speyburn; 1 production facility of Larsen Cognac and eau-de-vie in France; 1 distillery in New Zealand that produces New World single malt; 2 production facilities in Myanmar; and 1 distillery in China which produces Yulinquan Chinese spirits. <br /><br />The Company’s well-known spirits brands include Ruang Khao, Hong Thong, Blend 285, SangSom, and Mekhong, as well as GRG’s iconic Grand Royal whisky. Chang, the Group’s signature beer, is one of the most recognizable Thai beers locally and internationally, while SABECO’s Bia Saigon and 333 are Vietnam’s top-selling beer brands. ThaiBev’s leading non-alcoholic beverage brands include Oishi green tea, est cola, and Crystal drinking water, as well as F&N’s sparkling drinks and 100PLUS isotonic drink. The Company also operates Japanese restaurants, as well as ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat food businesses, through its subsidiary Oishi Group Public Company Limited.

Asia starts a new era from a position of strength, but—at the nexus of the world—will face a heightened version of global challenges, from trade tensions to aging to the demands of energy security and the net-zero transition, according to new McKinsey Global Institute research, <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/asia-on-the-cusp-of-a-new-era" target="_blank">Asia on the cusp of a new era</a>. <br /><br />Asian businesses are preparing for major strategic shifts. Alongside the new research, MGI collaborated with the Asia Business Council on a survey of CEOs in the region. More than 80 percent of CEOs expressed optimism about a new era, but three-quarters said that significant or transformative strategic shifts will be necessary on a broad front. <br /><br />“In the past era, Asia arguably benefited more than any other region from the major trends of globalization and digitization,” said Jeongmin Seong, an MGI partner. “And it starts a new era in a strong position. Looked at collectively, the diverse and dynamic countries of Asia are now such a large part of the global economy, they can shape a new era.” <br /><br />“A new era is going to have very different underlying forces than in the past, and Asia will be at the center of these forces,” said Chris Bradley, a McKinsey senior partner and MGI director. “Asia will be the furnace in which a new era is forged, and it may be that Asia experiences a more concentrated, heightened version of global challenges. For instance, it is the crossroads of global trade, and could now find itself in the crosshairs of trade tensions.” <br /><br />“Asia’s CEOs are overwhelmingly optimistic, but they see the need for very significant strategic shifts to manage the challenges of the new era,” said Nick Leung, a McKinsey senior partner. “Interestingly, most Asian businesses see the need for transformation in multiple areas. This suggests they believe that the years ahead are really going to be very different than the recent past and that they need to adjust.” <br /><br />“There are at least five different Asias that will experience a new era differently, but all of them can potentially help shape it,” Gautam Kumra, a McKinsey senior partner and chairman of McKinsey Asia. “Strong complementarity among the different Asias can continue to stitch them together through pragmatic economic cooperation.” <br /><br />Key findings include:<p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Asia’s economies were the great beneficiaries of deepening global connections, rapid digital adoption, and broadening urbanization and capitalization over the past 30 years. Complementary comparative advantage in trade. Today, 59 percent of Asian trade is with other Asian countries. </li><li>A new era will have very different underlying forces than those that shaped the past 30 years and, at the nexus of those forces Asia will experience a more concentrated, heightened version of the global challenges across five domains:</li></ul><div><p class="mgiBullet1Bodystyles" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo4;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";">o<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span> Asia is the world’s trade crossroads but could now find itself in the crosshairs of trade tensions.

This momentous event truly showcased Brighton College Bangkok's dedication to fostering the intellectual and emotional growth of our youngest learners, equipping them with the tools they need for a brighter future.<br /><br />We take immense pride in this remarkable facility, as it stands as a testament to our commitment to providing limitless opportunities for our pupils to explore, learn, and play, where their imaginations can flourish without boundaries.<br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-PtqGMfMuHbMAxR2AOvoWFdC38XvPvqEywgNQ8_XvN6ISNNM_X9ZYAOXfxnOc8h1ziD8LknLasn9ZgFJZFw96hOVovP3cc1Fv432TTUg_wAzWtaidfIQFfLNqflwT0koxctiAbW8Tb5zl0D4Zy7Zs10-cPRp96qX1m4PUVM5TqPtWSXYSO6cVNoW220z/s1000/G1-1.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-PtqGMfMuHbMAxR2AOvoWFdC38XvPvqEywgNQ8_XvN6ISNNM_X9ZYAOXfxnOc8h1ziD8LknLasn9ZgFJZFw96hOVovP3cc1Fv432TTUg_wAzWtaidfIQFfLNqflwT0koxctiAbW8Tb5zl0D4Zy7Zs10-cPRp96qX1m4PUVM5TqPtWSXYSO6cVNoW220z/s16000/G1-1.png" /></a></div><br />Embracing a child-centred learning environment<br /></b><br />At the start of this academic year we were thrilled to see the much-anticipated Early Years and Key Stage areas being fully enjoyed and explored by our pupils. The outstanding playground ignited the imagination and enthusiasm of our young learners from the very first day. This remarkable transformation is the result of meticulous planning, innovative design, and a commitment to providing the best possible educational environment for our pupils.<br /><br />Central to the creation of our new Early Years and Key Stage 1 area was the concept of a child-focused learning environment. Every aspect of the design was carefully crafted to engage, stimulate, and support our young learners as they embark on their educational journey. From cosy reading corners that invite exploration to interactive learning stations designed to foster creativity, our new spaces are tailored to the unique needs and developmental stages of each child.<br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHZV9wMAmvp3FV0M3lMKFYFOviKdGRmpXSLtx1gfZMTllqVwJUQJuKK0AeZhgCLQxjs88sTcqKpeD7qVowbma4o-KW1DLLolrTY3ZltFBsVxOxGFXbeHtNd4g91nS7jLcyiITizG5VE58XbE90Z_PpeZneQXEoHGXvY-ubu1jfy4RB6zBFNYwDsFIkvjR1/s1000/G2.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHZV9wMAmvp3FV0M3lMKFYFOviKdGRmpXSLtx1gfZMTllqVwJUQJuKK0AeZhgCLQxjs88sTcqKpeD7qVowbma4o-KW1DLLolrTY3ZltFBsVxOxGFXbeHtNd4g91nS7jLcyiITizG5VE58XbE90Z_PpeZneQXEoHGXvY-ubu1jfy4RB6zBFNYwDsFIkvjR1/s16000/G2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNndo7wuM0P9Yl-wjSkYdAQSwdhBpt6sg311RgDH5yupcxLJ3SLhpRnytG-6GYJl2Yv5fimefewqMuDFdD9W0u7oXbnHoyAgDmbO0463TejaqQiN7QV5Fhi_SJ3ufMQVOiqKkfOHfe2mnlH_7tj7TAEfMtERJpBC5QE1QewhFqIgjE2HHI79tZrdh7KTX3/s1000/G3.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNndo7wuM0P9Yl-wjSkYdAQSwdhBpt6sg311RgDH5yupcxLJ3SLhpRnytG-6GYJl2Yv5fimefewqMuDFdD9W0u7oXbnHoyAgDmbO0463TejaqQiN7QV5Fhi_SJ3ufMQVOiqKkfOHfe2mnlH_7tj7TAEfMtERJpBC5QE1QewhFqIgjE2HHI79tZrdh7KTX3/s16000/G3.png" /></a></div><br />A safe a secure environment</b><br /><br />The safety and wellbeing of our pupils are paramount, and this ethos is reflected in the choice of materials used in our new area. We have incorporated special materials that are not only durable but also child-friendly, ensuring that our pupils can freely explore and engage without compromise. These materials have been meticulously selected to withstand the rigours of active play while providing a nurturing and secure environment for every child.<br /><br /><b>Feedback from Teachers: A Collaborative Triumph<br /></b><br />The success of our new Early Years and Key Stage area is a testament to the collaboration between our dedicated educators and visionary designers.

Our new Early Years and Key Stage area isn't just a physical space; it's a realm of possibilities where learning and play coalesce to foster holistic development. As educators, parents, and pupils come together to celebrate this new chapter, we anticipate a vibrant atmosphere where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.<br /><br />By prioritising child-focused learning environments, safety through the use of special materials, incorporating teacher feedback, and striving for optimal outcomes, we have created an environment that resonates with the aspirations and dreams of our young learners.

This is according to a new global consumer survey conducted by One Inch Whale on behalf of BENEO, a leading manufacturer of plant-based functional ingredients. The research surveyed a total of 9,243 consumers in 9 countries, including 1,002 participants in Thailand. BENEO will be participating in this year’s Food Ingredient’s Asia in Bangkok, Thailand from 20 – 22 September. At their shared booth (Booth number: S01) with its Sales Network Partner DPO International, visitors can gain insight into the company’s prebiotic solutions derived from chicory root fibres and their beneficial effect in terms of a healthy gut, inner wellbeing and overall health. <br /><br /><b>Heightened Awareness of How Digestive Health Significantly Impacts Overall Wellbeing </b><br /><br />The research indicates that 1 in 2 consumers in Thailand (55%) define themselves as health-conscious, while about 1 in 3 already exhibit a strong interest in healthy foods and ingredients (29%). There is also a widespread recognition among these Thai consumers of the intrinsic link between digestive health and overall health — especially with regard to physical and mental wellbeing, as well as an effective and functionable immune system. The survey highlights that 1 in 5 consumers in Thailand are already incorporating prebiotic foods and/or supplements as part of their regimen. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYVTLdrjzBo8b69Wlhv5w6MrqRtzlWHKnCn7bITr_rce9GDvw7cEagzPaV2Zkzh2qNi2sOWIYQdDaZUTjUVTeCMXxmzQlevI5K0gN_Z-pn-YLE4-4qXEUN5_Ydmttvd7UcwVB1Jqw2IEkcNJfd_rfhrv4BtL1lb_zJivu_IXUv2R5GiyR_Xlr-8TEbcFQ/s1000/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYVTLdrjzBo8b69Wlhv5w6MrqRtzlWHKnCn7bITr_rce9GDvw7cEagzPaV2Zkzh2qNi2sOWIYQdDaZUTjUVTeCMXxmzQlevI5K0gN_Z-pn-YLE4-4qXEUN5_Ydmttvd7UcwVB1Jqw2IEkcNJfd_rfhrv4BtL1lb_zJivu_IXUv2R5GiyR_Xlr-8TEbcFQ/s16000/12.jpg" /></a></div><br />Awareness of the Link Between Prebiotics and Health <br /></b><br />The majority of consumers associate prebiotics with supporting digestive health (58%). Also, the link to overall health is strong, with 70% of Thai consumers making that connection. Compared to the global average of 53%, this is much more outspoken in this region and shows that Thai consumers are highly cognisant. <br /><br />In addition, consumers look closely to on-pack communication as a crucial purchase motivator, with over three-fifths referencing this information before buying (67%). In fact, the appeal of prebiotics in on-pack communication is high in Thailand — at 62%. <br /><br />Although consumers are extremely interested in prebiotics and understand its positive effects on health and wellbeing, there continues to be an unsatisfied demand; with more than half of respondents in Thailand stating that there are not enough healthy products to incorporate into their daily routine. This is particularly pertinent as their interest in digestive health goes beyond constipation or medical issues, and encompasses an understanding that a good working digestive system is part of a healthy lifestyle, or makes them feel good (55%). <br /><br />Myriam Snaet, Head of Market Intelligence and Consumer Insights at BENEO, shares: “The positive attitude towards prebiotics in Thailand, coupled with the high health awareness of consumers, demonstrates the promising market potential for foods and beverages with prebiotic benefits. Over the last 20 years, BENEO has been supporting scientific prebiotic research for our ingredients, and our vast technical expertise has enabled us to develop healthy foods and drinks that convince in terms of sensory appeal.” <br /><br />She further adds “With digestive health being a big driver in the food sector, prebiotics are an effective way to tap into one of the most powerful food trends.” <br /><br />According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), a prebiotic is “a substrate that is selectively utilised by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit.” BENEO’s chicory root fibres, Orafti® Inulin und Oligofructose, belong to the only very few prebiotics which are scientifically and clinically proven to be classified in accordance with its definition. Additionally, they are the only proven plant-based prebiotics on the market. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBE3RGHT52tzE8YMVvO1qKz6-XzfN5pgGTJ8bx27X_iXHw4HBr5nRzfQ1CBV4lebQgQB7EgMv6bOjdh0M-tlDkOv7YfAhu28ryzLa1x489Ho2VJKzoOfKbQTlolEY8pLJOGDMjUN22W8I92SpimRANiBEo9bGK96aHBYq_hSaDZQgvrwY7bcojXBf4XWW/s1000/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBE3RGHT52tzE8YMVvO1qKz6-XzfN5pgGTJ8bx27X_iXHw4HBr5nRzfQ1CBV4lebQgQB7EgMv6bOjdh0M-tlDkOv7YfAhu28ryzLa1x489Ho2VJKzoOfKbQTlolEY8pLJOGDMjUN22W8I92SpimRANiBEo9bGK96aHBYq_hSaDZQgvrwY7bcojXBf4XWW/s16000/13.jpg" /></a></div><br />Furthermore, the National Agency of Drug and Food Control of Indonesia (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) has approved a prebiotic claim for chicory root fibres inulin and oligofructose, making it the first and only ingredients recognised as prebiotics in the country. The Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) — China’s largest professional nutrition body — has also concluded that inulin and oligofructose are among the first accepted prebiotics. In total, more than 150 high quality human intervention studies have been published on chicory root fibre, showcasing strong evidence for its distinct physiological benefits. <br /><br />Together with BENEO’s technical expertise spanning across all continents, food manufacturers are well-equipped to develop new products incorporating prebiotics that suit the regional palates of their consumers. It is this combination of scientific and technical expertise that is key for BENEO’s ambition to connect nutrition and health by supporting manufacturers in bringing healthy products to the shelves. <br /><br />For further information on BENEO and its ingredients, please visit: <a href="http://www.beneo.com/" target="_blank">www.beneo.com</a> and <a href="http://www.beneo.com/news" target="_blank">www.beneo.com/news</a> or follow BENEO on Twitter: @_BENEO or LinkedIn: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/beneo" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/company/beneo</a> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">BENEO has long-term experience in developing and producing plant-based functional ingredients from natural sources for the food, feed and pharmaceutical industries.

The retina is most important because it determines image quality. When the retina is healthy, light passes through the cornea to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light onto the retina, producing a sharp image. However, when retinal problems are left untreated, permanent vision loss can occur. When the retina is damaged it cannot be replaced, unlike the cornea. Common retinal problems include retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal dystrophy, which often occurs at birth, or progressive thinning & rupture of the cornea, which results in nearsightedness or vision loss. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTWXy1kAecWm6x5F9BsnaTAr5KAOJzizsqm9QD2wbQ8ms1SruKutQvp8CAaPYI_AhlNXVNBd2cFD-jXaRxHIocN2qwm6PIBgndHZyb4y_bZG4eUwkSO6OwlXPY6UU0P8_39XYeZQpotQ3ZAySYZiOFfydGbSfAYtkxwnSXSshKe7Dczh22MFT0pjjsg/s1000/16-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTWXy1kAecWm6x5F9BsnaTAr5KAOJzizsqm9QD2wbQ8ms1SruKutQvp8CAaPYI_AhlNXVNBd2cFD-jXaRxHIocN2qwm6PIBgndHZyb4y_bZG4eUwkSO6OwlXPY6UU0P8_39XYeZQpotQ3ZAySYZiOFfydGbSfAYtkxwnSXSshKe7Dczh22MFT0pjjsg/s16000/16-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dr. Nuthida Wongwirawat, orthoptist and pediatric ophthalmologist at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, states, “Parents today may not know that a new born can have vision problems, especially when the baby is born pre-mature, or weighs less than 1,500 grams. These babies risk having retinopathy of prematurity, an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina. The retina may bleed, scar, and pull away from its normal position. At the Bumrungrad NICU, pediatricians work closely with pediatric ophthalmologists to monitor and evaluate infant vision development and the risks of developing eye problems. If such problems are not treated in a timely manner, it may cause permanent vision loss and blindness. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypb4-SBxbrZUZhiDLKddgU-TWvt7trIDE0VZpJ_cQ_blkc5LMQ07YH5RQDkmCrfxV6Y1TEkS3EzhXkVK8yafjRcjFXr-7E0nYmCxdCzT3hCNm1Pp5SNNu6Q3Dkb9PH0sGdsNOBopHypX8-waBLMKKBQNfh0TyBDty5H05bc7s7EWJS1-HTZJ_uYy9vQ/s1000/16-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypb4-SBxbrZUZhiDLKddgU-TWvt7trIDE0VZpJ_cQ_blkc5LMQ07YH5RQDkmCrfxV6Y1TEkS3EzhXkVK8yafjRcjFXr-7E0nYmCxdCzT3hCNm1Pp5SNNu6Q3Dkb9PH0sGdsNOBopHypX8-waBLMKKBQNfh0TyBDty5H05bc7s7EWJS1-HTZJ_uYy9vQ/s16000/16-11.jpg" /></a></div><br />In the case of antenatal and childbirth mothers at Bumrungrad International Hospital, we provide the internationally standard infant vision development test. If the infant is at risk of retinopathy of prematurity or other vision problems are detected, retina specialists and pediatric ophthalmologists will work together to devise an appropriate treatment plan. Potential treatment options include laser treatment, intravitreal drug injection, and vitrectomy. Such infants are at greater risk of nearsightedness or strabismus than full term babies. Our pediatric ophthalmologists will provide follow-up care based on the treatment plan and perform tests to ensure the eyes stay healthy in the long run and to lessen the complications and severity of retinopathy of prematurity. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrYmYvWa73-PaVAUz-6HVha863np0IKyPyFdLjc2_bKCsLfdkg1WSsctS7qKr0oL_GGuV4xJBTOB4xTCb6eYaIwo4GmEm9YFnsyPPOZ-vl_-wWFrZaCUNtD6tg8dHSE6UXKRvZ0ysEcNkRYO-L73HEM3pwAj9Kyp8hVn2079RsoXwI4LO0WsqX_N_KQ/s1000/17-1%20BH%20Eye%20pic5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="547" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrYmYvWa73-PaVAUz-6HVha863np0IKyPyFdLjc2_bKCsLfdkg1WSsctS7qKr0oL_GGuV4xJBTOB4xTCb6eYaIwo4GmEm9YFnsyPPOZ-vl_-wWFrZaCUNtD6tg8dHSE6UXKRvZ0ysEcNkRYO-L73HEM3pwAj9Kyp8hVn2079RsoXwI4LO0WsqX_N_KQ/s16000/17-1%20BH%20Eye%20pic5.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGYc6kxROdlGv8_snkDQDMrn8u81Z3DH1C0PrNxbTq5F_Y3GPxD9aFZnOu55tl__q8aUZdOFDOpJNgw3feA-Mzo_4ORv0geSSAmrMnibhdhoWCxSwS5WhW205baYD2NpRBt2lxUiwU0NMPQclaMH85gQcTMKlWBamggVPmcSuHNXR2VWKCSpC2Tpd8MQ/s1000/17-2%20BH%20Eye%20pic6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="547" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGYc6kxROdlGv8_snkDQDMrn8u81Z3DH1C0PrNxbTq5F_Y3GPxD9aFZnOu55tl__q8aUZdOFDOpJNgw3feA-Mzo_4ORv0geSSAmrMnibhdhoWCxSwS5WhW205baYD2NpRBt2lxUiwU0NMPQclaMH85gQcTMKlWBamggVPmcSuHNXR2VWKCSpC2Tpd8MQ/s16000/17-2%20BH%20Eye%20pic6.jpg" /></a></div><br />Currently, childhood myopia is common and growing. The conditions under which children develop myopia have become unpredictable and it is now found at younger ages. Some children become nearsighted when they are only a year old. One reason for this is premature birth. Some children have uneven vision or even develop anisometropia or are at risk of having amblyopia. At present, the Bumrungrad Eye Excellence Center has a specialized pediatric eye clinic. Pediatric ophthalmologists provide treatment and advice on how to prevent or slow myopia based on the latest medical knowledge. <b><i>People who have myopia cannot just wait for LASIK eye surgery because myopia causes changes in the eyes and increases the risks of retinal disease.</i></b> Parents and caretakers should prioritize pediatric eye health and bring children to have their eyes tested at an early age to prevent, treat, or slow myopia. The Bumrungrad Eye Excellence Center specializes in preventing and treating vision problems based on the existing research on myopia. For example, we provide low-dose atropine treatment, given as eye drops, and bifocal spectacle lenses. Pediatric ophthalmologists perform screenings and treatment advice for each individual case. Bumrungrad also conducts on-going international research to further develop atropine treatment protocols to provide the most effective treatment to our patients. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKIANBwviVOu0-_uT9zRzbQ7EanV5mqmEkt5B7ymHSOnEKAmRxkOIOE4L3krG7t9RZPX7sTzVMFx43qo3yujvgp-KnQa4TmtBFKvLFj9j8E0a7BW7rcaBEZ4ZOX6Ueuursp25gFAAhpfmMHOe8Phb2vXkgEp8h_0beI3zmKlTl2NFDdEYd5tf12BAKA/s1000/18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKIANBwviVOu0-_uT9zRzbQ7EanV5mqmEkt5B7ymHSOnEKAmRxkOIOE4L3krG7t9RZPX7sTzVMFx43qo3yujvgp-KnQa4TmtBFKvLFj9j8E0a7BW7rcaBEZ4ZOX6Ueuursp25gFAAhpfmMHOe8Phb2vXkgEp8h_0beI3zmKlTl2NFDdEYd5tf12BAKA/s16000/18.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dr. Tharinee Kulkamthorn, ophthalmologist specializing in vision correction, and refractive surgery at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b> reveals, “A lot of patients come to Bumrungrad for the ReLEx SMILE to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. They usually think the treatment takes one day. Actually, ReLEx SMILE involves a delicate process. Doctors need to evaluate co-morbid and pre-existing conditions and the root causes of the problem. Some cases are so complicated doctors need to consult teams of experts before performing ReLEx SMILE to deliver the best treatment outcomes while prioritizing patient safety. <br /><br />For example, a patient came to Bumrungrad presenting with a long history of migraines. That patient turned out to suffer nearsightedness and astigmatism in one eye and farsightedness and astigmatism in the other. His vision was dramatically uneven. He had a slight case of strabismus too. Ophthalmologists and orthoptists worked together to calculate the angle of strabismus and the eye so the laser treatment would be successful. The goal was to enable the patient to see clearly without worsening the strabismus. Another patient was going through an IVF cycle and wanted to have ReLEx SMILE to correct nearsightedness before having the embryos transferred to the uterus. Ophthalmologists consulted with reproductive endocrinologists regarding the IVF process so the ReLEx SMILE procedure could safely be performed. We also supported the patient’s wish to be able to see their baby clearly at birth. We understood it would be a happy moment and an important milestone for our patient, so we worked hard to maintain our standards of safety and achieve the best outcome possible. We performed ReLEx SMILE first because it did not conflict with IVF. After a month-long pause, we collected the patient’s eggs and continued on with the IVF process. <br /><b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3x9m3az3_F4otA4-TtfxSAI3tKGERHb2SBO8-NJwhjwvhKzjFJeVlUG9HBvTn0nCnez-zXCJYwgo7Sse9ElqpzUaLeAZjsK23yUsQekO02r-2i_cdlVlrP3zOisHiq5y2bIrcacQfY7I-kVcvMbCrTZamxZ0u2TeZFDIxALlQ8GRST7WMU2UeVAeWXQ/s1000/19-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3x9m3az3_F4otA4-TtfxSAI3tKGERHb2SBO8-NJwhjwvhKzjFJeVlUG9HBvTn0nCnez-zXCJYwgo7Sse9ElqpzUaLeAZjsK23yUsQekO02r-2i_cdlVlrP3zOisHiq5y2bIrcacQfY7I-kVcvMbCrTZamxZ0u2TeZFDIxALlQ8GRST7WMU2UeVAeWXQ/s16000/19-1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNiorLojEc3NSS5wLadj-mwmNedGM25vHX7ArzmJcbw_V8LUKaFrIhbHQ3tMgcfIULFGmWRF64YyKfarNxLyXIXEXucjsLdZk2JULVoVEk2WBUstkJuRGJTDlsvnrmCbFc4u4haFp3fRQsmHXT4eJBx7S3j9ImG-44QeqTqtJBBvnflQSprEDCSDblA/s1000/19-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNiorLojEc3NSS5wLadj-mwmNedGM25vHX7ArzmJcbw_V8LUKaFrIhbHQ3tMgcfIULFGmWRF64YyKfarNxLyXIXEXucjsLdZk2JULVoVEk2WBUstkJuRGJTDlsvnrmCbFc4u4haFp3fRQsmHXT4eJBx7S3j9ImG-44QeqTqtJBBvnflQSprEDCSDblA/s16000/19-2.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dr. Nattawut Wanumkarng, ophthalmologist specializing in oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, adds, “The Bumrungrad Eye Excellence Center performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgery as well.

Our ophthalmologists at the Bumrungrad Eye Excellence Center collaborated with specialists to deliver the most effective treatment. For example, a Ukrainian woman had a motorcycle accident resulting severe facial fractures. The case was complex and needed the expertise of several specialists. Orthoptists, ophthalmic surgeons, and teams of experienced specialists worked closely together to coordinate treatment. It took 11 hours to perform the surgery and 3-6 months of follow-up care. After the injuries healed, orthoptists performed another operation to correct her eye movement. Now, the patient has made close to a full recovery – her face has healed and her vision is back to almost normal. Another patient suffered from thyroid eye disease. He had a severe case of exophthalmos and was almost blind. Ophthalmologists at Bumrungrad collaborated with endocrinologists, orthoptists, neuro-ophthalmologists, and surgeons to operate on the bulging eyes. Radiologists performed radiation therapy. Also, biological products were prescribed to help treat the condition. Thyroid patients need at least 2 years of follow-up care until the condition improves. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKI9QWcDVSd0em6yIHXzeSucLar_bKXE5IAkUPrqp-ugLw7I1RbzsImTaaIoAqc5qdWppmIuhaSxmAWfYWXUTGz3zMaz7ueqDqcjog9lAyD_AD_q7-n8wldQ90OiG5ypKh3vbBgl531lbczIrYSxYvVo7UbhkEqWf1Jmy3g-J_FJAyOryz1j_tuZsVw/s1000/21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKI9QWcDVSd0em6yIHXzeSucLar_bKXE5IAkUPrqp-ugLw7I1RbzsImTaaIoAqc5qdWppmIuhaSxmAWfYWXUTGz3zMaz7ueqDqcjog9lAyD_AD_q7-n8wldQ90OiG5ypKh3vbBgl531lbczIrYSxYvVo7UbhkEqWf1Jmy3g-J_FJAyOryz1j_tuZsVw/s16000/21.jpg" /></a></div><br />Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ngamjit Kasetsuwan, President of Cornea and Refractive Society of Thailand, and a cornea specialist at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, adds, “Bumrungrad performs corneal transplantation, which shows our competence in providing holistic, comprehensive eyecare. Prior to corneal transplant surgery, ophthalmologists carefully go over the patient’s medical records and perform a thorough checkup and eye test to ensure the patient is ready. For example, ophthalmologists need to consider whether the patient has glaucoma. We check the patient’s optic nerve, retina, and intraocular pressure and look for signs of redness or infection as well. Then ophthalmologists prepare the surface of the eyes for the corneal transplant procedure. Inflammation triggers rejection of the transplanted cornea, all eye specialists need to work together to evaluate each case. Importantly, Bumrungrad collaborates with the Thai Red Cross Eye Bank and high-standard international eye banks to provide donor corneas. We ensure clear, good quality, disease-free corneas for our patients so any eye diseases are not likely to occur after corneal transplantation. <br /><br />The Bumrungrad Eye Excellence Center can treat corneal dystrophy and cataracts during the same operation. If treated like a general cataract treatment, the patient's cornea may be damaged. Before the treatment, ophthalmologists plan together and conduct an analysis to see if the patient’s condition is suitable for treatment of both conditions at once. Ophthalmologists use a patient-centered process to help patients decide which treatment option they would like to choose. At present, few private hospitals in Thailand treat corneal dystrophy and cataracts simultaneously. It requires expertise and experienced ophthalmologists and specialists who can work together seamlessly, which is our strength at Bumrungrad. <br /><br /><b> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tp7vtSKE5h1vxom1HfCpvZxAIN0CRp842zJDq-UTVwvLDQ8zyoHtiUtz3j8an3_-WQylcWVBENzrcnyHXEsp9apVanXlo6P9inN6hkTFfNXrNTHJdyAHH2BFoVtxWdJC_Wv0kIoCAIkpnBfAYwHRu9IJq6OUSntXevI8v7mi4eY___TDR1yYnsiiew/s1000/22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tp7vtSKE5h1vxom1HfCpvZxAIN0CRp842zJDq-UTVwvLDQ8zyoHtiUtz3j8an3_-WQylcWVBENzrcnyHXEsp9apVanXlo6P9inN6hkTFfNXrNTHJdyAHH2BFoVtxWdJC_Wv0kIoCAIkpnBfAYwHRu9IJq6OUSntXevI8v7mi4eY___TDR1yYnsiiew/s16000/22.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dr. Maytinee Sirimaharaj, director and ophthalmologist specializing in retina and vitreous at Bumrungrad International Hospital</b>, concludes, “Thai doctors are smart and skillful. The way to move forward is to leverage the expertise and strength of each specialist as they work together, resulting in the best treatment and post-treatment outcomes. This benefits patients significantly, especially those who suffer from rare or complex conditions. In 2022, our success rate for eye surgeries was over 90%, higher than called for by international standards.

However, it continues to pose a significant burden in Asia, with poor awareness and undertreatment reported in many Asian countries and regions. It is estimated to cause nearly 3.7 million deaths each year in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania.2 Considering the asymptomatic nature of hypertension and the significant disease burden, it is essential to measure blood pressure regularly. Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is recognized as a valuable tool to monitor blood pressure and facilitate effective detection of hypertension. Combined with the right drugs treatment, it can play a significant role in preventing stroke, heart attacks, and dementia.3 <br /><br />To this end, OMRON has joined the mission to promote blood pressure screening through device donations via the May Measurement Month program. Since 2017, OMRON has donated approximately 23,000 units of blood pressure monitors to various medical associations of hypertension globally, to support screening and diagnosis. <br /><br /><b>About OMRON Healthcare </b><br />Committed to helping people live more active and fulfilling lives, OMRON Healthcare is a global leader in the field of clinically proven, innovative medical equipment for health monitoring and therapy.

This is the key factor in increasing Thailand's economic competitiveness.</i>" <br /><br />Based on existing national innovation system research, innovation performance in Thailand is hindered by several factors, including a skills gap marked by shortages of technical workers, the ineffectiveness of cooperation between various government agencies, weak scientific production and links between firms and research centers. In addition, access to imported intermediate inputs and technology is available yet there is a lack of systematic mechanisms for technology absorptions by firms, while access to finance is listed as the main constraint for growth by SMEs. <br /><br />To spur innovation, policymakers need to prioritize certain policies over others based on the level of technological capabilities of the country’s private sector, which varies tremendously between large, internationally linked firms and small domestic enterprises. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidZxuEb-oQzdk5pZfPSWuOWwnlml7OSA_ZDoqdGWsnu3C4J6EwEDlTIl7shixcKZj97R2a8sXvdw_Yxq01w_Go22GXqdNyH-QImmsFvKRbVb8ItQPlxXHtZHbqQn50wpyd5TKKDCw4jtTAwFuZbsOihCGL-JhiOTAswUXekq9JOEtnEcdDPYrCWJq6w/s1000/1114%20Ms.%20Cecile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidZxuEb-oQzdk5pZfPSWuOWwnlml7OSA_ZDoqdGWsnu3C4J6EwEDlTIl7shixcKZj97R2a8sXvdw_Yxq01w_Go22GXqdNyH-QImmsFvKRbVb8ItQPlxXHtZHbqQn50wpyd5TKKDCw4jtTAwFuZbsOihCGL-JhiOTAswUXekq9JOEtnEcdDPYrCWJq6w/s16000/1114%20Ms.%20Cecile.jpg" /></a></div><br />“<i>Innovation has the power to propel Thailand towards achieving high-income status, and we believe this partnership will inform effective innovation policy designs for driving sustainable productivity growth,</i>” said <b>Cecile Thioro Niang, Practice Manager for Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation for East Asia and Pacific at the World Bank.</b> “<i>Moreover, the risks and costs of climate change for Thailand and neighboring countries make it an imperative to prioritize innovation and adoption of new technologies.
