The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) met the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) to discuss bilateral cooperation in medicine and tourism.
BMA executives led by deputy governor Tavida Kamolvej met AmCham representatives led by Deborah Seifert at City Hall on Friday.
At the meeting, Tavida presented the latest updates on medical and tourism projects that BMA has been working on, such as personnel development, elderly care initiatives, application for primary healthcare services, tackling dust and air pollution and its clean-air room project.
Officials from BMA’s Medical Service and Culture, Sport and Tourism departments also presented projects they are overseeing such as the mobile medical unit, one-stop tourism information centre, and promotion of Bangkok Brand products.
AmCham representatives said the agency was ready to support the city in its projects and will use the experience it gained from working with Thai medical colleges and the US embassy.
The delegates also called on the city to organise a field trip for them to study the work of BMA’s mobile medical units in providing healthcare services to local communities.
