Wattanapat Hospital Plc is moving forward with investment in importing a 394-slice high-speed computed tomography scanner featuring the AI Revolution™ Maxima innovation from GE HealthCare, aiming to enhance medical diagnostic capabilities. The company is also developing a cross-border emergency patient referral system along the Udon Thani–Nong Khai–Vientiane route, which can cut critical time by over 50%. Dr. Natthira Tangsuebkul, Chief Financial Officer, stated that the AI Auto-Positioning technology will increase daily patient throughput and deliver high-resolution diagnostic images under the principle of patient safety as the top priority. Meanwhile, the referral network in collaboration with Alliance International Medical Centre and Nong Khai Wattana Hospital enables emergency vehicles to reach patients in Vientiane within 10 to 20 minutes and transport them to Udon Thani within 1.5 to 2 hours, down from a previous total of 4 hours. The company is also investing in developing critical pediatric care personnel to international standards and expanding training to partner hospitals in the region, driving towards becoming a sustainable medical hub in the Mekong basin.
