The National Innovation Agency (NIA) is continuing to drive the development of the Yothi Medical Innovation District (YMID) initiative in response to demand for the creation of a central medical hub in Asia, says executive director Pun-Arj Chairatana.
The initiative, located in Bangkok’s Yothi neighbourhood, aims to reduce imports of medical innovations and establish a Thai medical innovation brand, according to the NIA.
The YMID includes medical institutes, educational institutes, research units, residences, restaurants, cafes and co-working spaces.
