BDMS plans to develop Asia’s first anti-aging, holistic health care center
Thailand’s largest private hospital operator, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS), is planning to purchase buildings and lands in Bangkok as part of their plans to develop a medical center that is focused on anti-aging and other types of holistic health care.
The project is estimated to cost 12.8 billion Baht (US$371 million), with 10.8 billion Baht reserved for the purchase of a 24,000 sq m plot and the three buildings on it. The remaining 2 billion Baht will be spent on the facility itself, which BDMS calls the “first holistic health care center in Asia”.
The medical center, called the BDMS Wellness Clinic, will offer comprehensive medical exams and personalized treatment programs related to anti-aging. It will also provide neurological health services, such as treatment for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Services provided at other BDMS hospitals may also be offered at the new clinic.
BDMS hopes to “capture the business opportunities created by increasing demand in preventive medicine, longevity and anti-aging,” the company said in a filing submitted to the Thai stock exchange. “We believe that it will help enhance our reputation and brand recognition globally,” it said.
The purchase is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2017.
