I would like to thank Thai Beverage Public Company Limited for recognizing the importance of creating social benefit through the continuous promotion of public health and the wellbeing of members of society. In ensuring the health and wellbeing of the people, the company has provided support for and also established many useful public health projects through the Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation, such as the Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital founded on the great auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s Diamond Jubilee in 2006. In remembrance of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s graciousness to the people of Thailand, Khun Charoen, Khunying Wanna Sirivadhanabhakdi and the Sirivadhanabhakdi family established “Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital,” the first kidney hospital in Thailand. Furthermore, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is the chairperson of the Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital Foundation. It aims for the hospital to become the leading specialized hospital in Asia, providing comprehensive care for patients with renal disease. In addition to the establishment of this hospital, ThaiBev continues to support other important public health initiatives on behalf of the Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation by Khun Charoen and Khunying Wanna Sirivadhanabhakdi.
