“We want to provide healthcare solutions and healthcare furniture products to support the potential demand in hospitals and among home users, so that doctors will be comfortable treating their patients,” Wootichai said.
“Patients will also get added convenience in treatment and an improved quality of life as they use healthcare furniture to support their lifestyle at home.
