Braun Thailand has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing healthcare, characterized by its pioneering spirit and noteworthy contributions. With a relentless pursuit of technological advancements, B. Braun continues to devise innovative solutions, set industry standards, and elevate patient care to new heights.
Looking back at the vibrant 35-year journey, B. Braun Thailand boasts a robust presence in the country through:
Bringing Cutting-edge Medical Technologies: For over 185 years globally and 35 years in Thailand, B. Braun has been at the forefront of medical technology, constantly pushing the limits to safeguard and enhance human health. Our unyielding dedication has led us to develop state-of-the-art technologies including next-gen automation, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and artificial intelligence. These innovations are not just buzzwords; they significantly improve clinical outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and boost patient satisfaction.
Training Healthcare Professionals with the Aesculap Academy: B. Braun’s prestigious Aesculap Academy, launched in Thailand in 2005, is a testament to our commitment to medical education. Recognized globally for connecting healthcare professionals through the latest technologies and techniques, the Academy thrives as a hub of knowledge exchange. Currently, Aesculap Academy Thailand operates five Training Centres in collaboration with Thailand’s premier medical institutions, fostering continuous learning and advancement in the medical field.
Renal Care Centres: Acknowledging the critical need for high-standard dialysis services, B. Braun Thailand, leveraging its leadership in haemodialysis technology, inaugurated its first renal care center in 2015. These centres, approved by the Nephrology Society of Thailand, serve as paragons of standardized dialysis care, helping patients manage kidney failure effectively. Today, B. Braun’s network of renal care centres spans three locations nationwide, embodying our dedication to superior patient care.
The Technical Service Centre: Established to fortify Thailand’s health system, the B. Braun Technical Service Centre ensures the optimal functioning of all our medical equipment. Catering to our three business units—Hospital Care, Aesculap, and Avitum—the service is delivered by highly skilled, certified engineers specializing in hospital and medical equipment maintenance, guaranteeing reliable performance and patient safety.

We take pride in fostering an environment where every employee feels valued and empowered.
Our employees are the cornerstone of our success, and to honor this 35-year milestone, B.

These commemorative activities underscore our unwavering dedication to nurturing a cohesive culture that advocates diversity and ensures every team member feels secure and esteemed.

It’s amazing to see a company like B. Braun thrive for 35 years in Thailand! Their commitment to innovation and community building is commendable.
True, but isn’t it concerning how big corporations often overshadow local businesses? There’s always a flip side to such success.
I get your point, but local businesses can learn and grow by adopting best practices from such global entities. It’s a two-way street if managed well.
Let’s be real, without such corporations, would we have the same level of healthcare advancements? Local businesses just can’t match that scale.
Does anyone else feel like these events are just PR stunts? Do they truly care about their employees or is it all for show?
I’ve worked there for 3 years, and from my experience, they genuinely care. The team-building events and merit-based recognitions create a positive environment.
Thanks for the insight, Emily. It’s good to hear an employee’s perspective. Maybe their PR reflects genuine efforts.
I concur with Emily. As someone who’s collaborated with them, their emphasis on training and development is genuine and beneficial.
B. Braun’s emphasis on renal care is a godsend for kidney patients. The quality of dialysis services in Thailand needs more champions like this.
Yeah, but renal care isn’t the only healthcare issue Thailand faces. Shouldn’t they diversify their focus more?
Valid point, Jake. Still, they do contribute to many areas, and focusing on renal care is still a significant contribution.
The Aesculap Academy sounds like a fantastic initiative! It’s vital for healthcare professionals to continue their education and stay updated with the latest technologies.
After reading this, it feels like B. Braun is doing everything right. Are there any criticisms or downsides that we’re not seeing here?
Good question, Lara. Sometimes articles like this paint too rosy a picture. Wonder what employees on the ground have to say about it.
No company is perfect, but based on what I’ve read and heard, they seem to be fairly solid in their practices.
It’s cool that they celebrate diversity in the workplace, but I wonder how deep it actually runs. Anyone here who works there care to share?
As someone who worked at B. Braun Thailand for 5 years, I can attest to their genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Automating healthcare sounds like a double-edged sword. What happens to human jobs when robots take over?
Peter, automation is about enhancing human capabilities, not replacing them entirely. Think of it as a partnership.
Automation can indeed replace some roles but also creates new ones. It’s about evolving and adapting to new technologies.
Sustainability seems to be a buzzword nowadays. Are their environmental initiatives truly impactful, or is it more greenwashing?
From my time there, I’ve seen substantial efforts towards sustainability. They genuinely seem to care about their environmental impact.
It’s interesting how they’ve built such a robust training framework with the Aesculap Academy. Continuous education is essential in healthcare.
Do we know how their renal care centers compare to others in Thailand? Are they really a cut above the rest?
Celebrating 35 years is great, but let’s see them maintain this momentum for the next 35 without compromising their values.
That’s the true test of any company’s ethos, isn’t it? Time will tell if they can continue to innovate and stay true to their mission.
