          In the event, Asst.

It will be able to allow healthcare providers to easily access the patient database, assess health problems, and powerfully provide healthcare services. In addition, Mr. Somchok Nongnual, Director of Chumchon Sathit Walailak Phatthana Tambon Health Promotion Hospital as well as the working group of the hospital gave suggestions throughout the meeting and had an uncompromising commitment to establish partnerships with Walailak University in order to enhance the application.
