Bangkok Health Market is dedicated to educating individuals about innovative healthcare methods and optimizing public health service accessibility by enhancing communication with target groups,” stated Deputy Governor Tavida Kamolvej during the market’s opening on Thursday.
Tavida explained that the city has been implementing health units within communities to provide basic healthcare education and conduct health screenings, with the goal of alleviating local hospital overcrowding. “Our objective is to foster health comprehension and preventative measures which serve as the most effective strategy for combating any illness,” she added.
An exhibit at the health market underscored the functioning of Bangkok’s public health system, detailing patients’ journey through various medical units and offering guidance on where individuals should seek treatment depending on their symptoms. Tavida emphasized the importance of primary patients first consulting with doctors and health volunteers at local clinics, as this would help prevent hospitals from becoming inundated.
Under the city’s hospital zoning initiative, each hospital serves as a zone manager or system manager, providing direction and support to local health units, clinics, and pharmacies to ensure the highest quality healthcare for patients. The project also aims to deliver mobile medical services to bedridden individuals and those who find it difficult to travel to healthcare facilities.
“We strive to present healthcare information in a straightforward manner, allowing for the greatest level of understanding amongst the public. Nevertheless, our project continues to seek advancements in innovation and research that aid in simplifying access to medical services,” expressed Tavida.
In conclusion, the Deputy Governor voiced her hopes for the Bangkok Health Market to foster increased interaction between patients and healthcare professionals, thereby cultivating a supportive, health-conscious community that enables the delivery of medical services to all its members.
