At the press conference, there was also a “Longevity Talk,” with a panel of doctors and managements. First to speak was Suthee Siriwechdaruk, MD, Chief Administrative Officer of VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center and Esperance, who spoke about the importance of research on the causes of aging and how the development of healthcare guidelines can help slow the aging process, allowing people to live a longer, healthier life.

And lastly, Wanviput Sanphasitvong, MD, Business Development Director of VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center, who spoke about the importance of designing a patient experience around the concept of an “Ecosystem of Care,” and applying the principles of proportion — the golden ratio — to treat patients, meaning that the patient should always be the point of focus. 

The press conference was held ultimately to communicate that the center is determined to raise the level of care and to be in line with modern healthcare trends. These goals will be achieved by combining longevity medicine with cutting-edge technology and uniquely designed programs. And, of course, through the expertise of the team.
