KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 (Bernama) -- On May 31, Chunghwa Telecom Co Ltd (CHT) and Thonburi Hospital (TH) inked the Smart Hospital MOU.

These solutions help reduce the workload of medical staff, improve the quality of medical services, and raise operational performance. Chunghwa Telecom continues to increase competitiveness using ICT technologies and applications.

“With the post Covid-19 challenges we are facing now, and countries in South Eastern Asia looking to achieve digital transformation in healthcare industry, hospitals are in urgent need to deliver services in innovation for the ever-changing environment.” said Hsueh-Lan Wu, President of Chunghwa Telecom International Business Group and Chairman of Chunghwa Telecom (Thailand) Co Ltd in a statement.

We value the simplicity, friendliness, and comprehensive connectivity in our information technologies over complicated and novel systems that distract from the healthcare we bring to our patients. "
