Vibhavadi Hospital Partners with BTS to Launch "Jab and Go by Vibhavadi Hospital Medical Clinic" to Cater to the Health-Conscious Urban Lifestyle
BackOn May 3, 2023, Mr. Pijit Viriyamettakul, Managing Director of Vibhavadi Hospital, Dr. Chaisit Kupwiwat, Director of Vibhavadi Hospital, and Mr. Surapong Laoha-Unya, Deputy Managing Director of Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited (BTSC), along with Dr. Mary Srethapakdi, Managing Director of MSD (Thailand) Limited, served as chairpersons at the official opening ceremony of the "Jab and Go, Vibhavadi Hospital Medical Clinic" at the Phaya Thai BTS Station. Ms. Yada Putthkayon, Hospital Administrator of Vibhavadi Hospital, also participated as an honored guest in the ceremony.
During the event, a Health Talk seminar on the topic "Getting to Know Important Vaccines at Jab&Go" was organized to provide knowledge to participants and the general public. Representatives from both organizations participated, including Dr. Usanee Chatchotikawong, a gynecologist from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department specializing in Oncology at Vibhavadi Hospital, and Miss Narisara Srisan, Communications Strategy Consultant at Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited (BTSC). Additionally, a special guest, Miss Jackie jacqueline Muench, was invited to participate in the seminar.
The establishment of this clinic stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic, during which people of all ages increasingly recognized the benefits of and became more accepting of vaccination. Vibhavadi Hospital organized activities to educate the public about essential vaccines for adolescents and working-age individuals under the concept "Prevention is Better than Cure." It was found that one limitation faced by Bangkok residents was the convenience of accessing healthcare services, as well as the high cost of certain vaccines. Therefore, Vibhavadi Hospital established this clinic at Phaya Thai BTS Station to meet the needs of urban dwellers who lead fast-paced lives and to reduce various limitations to ensure the most convenient service delivery. This includes easy accessibility and convenience in transportation.
The Jab&Go by Vibhavadi Hospital medical clinic will be available for individuals aged 9 years and older (newborns to 9-year-olds already have existing Gold Standard programs). Every step will be under the care of the hospital's medical team and nurses. The clinic will be open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM at a special price, which can also be paid in installments with banks contracted by the hospital. Besides vaccination services, the clinic also offers other medical services such as medical certificates for 5 diseases, 6 diseases, and offers retail of the Hospital’s cosmetic products. Additionally, medical and nursing consultations are available during service hours, along with access to vaccination or medical treatment history, which is integrated into the same system used for in-hospital services at Vibhavadi Hospital.
