VMware, a cloud solutions company, is working alongside Ministry of Public Health Thailand (MoPH) to enable a digitalised healthcare system for the local population. With more than 10,000 health IT units across Thailand's 76 provinces, the ministry said there was a need to consolidate health IT infrastructure, and enable the prompt exchange of information between MoPH and individual units located across the nation.
As such, MoPH deployed VMware vSphere and Horizon to improve coordination of healthcare services, allowing more affordable care for patients, providers and facilitators. This strategy supports the Thai government's overall vision for 'Digital Thailand' which promotes the use of digital technology to create better economic opportunities for the nation.
