By studying genetics and the cellular functioning of our internal organs, this new science provides a roadmap for planning healthcare that can help prevent diseases and delay the body's degeneration
 
Therefore, anti-aging medicine has gained significant popularity in the healthcare industry, with the global market experiencing rapid growth over the last few decades. As of 2022, the market's value has reached US$ 67.2 billion or approximately 2.34 trillion baht, and it is estimated to reach US$ 98.6 billion or 3.43 trillion baht by 2028.
 
Dr. Rattinan Treeratana, M.D., Founder and Chairman of Rattinan Medical Center, says that “Anti-aging medicine is a holistic healthcare and integrative medicine science that employs advanced laboratory testing technologies to identify the actual causes and opportunities to prevent age-related diseases and bodily decline. The ultimate goal is to promote longevity and healthier lives by preventing the onset of such illnesses”
 
During the discussion, Dr. Rattinan explained the healthcare philosophy of Rattinan Medical Center, highlighting their focus on safety standards and a comprehensive approach to promoting health through prevention, restoration, and enhancement. The center also designs anti-aging programs that offer both internal and external health benefits and provides personalized consultations with expert physicians. Additionally, the center collaborates with international partners from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and other countries to bring innovative anti-aging medical technologies to Thailand.
