provide ongoing assistance through social activities. On the occasion of the company's 125th

equipped with advanced life-saving medical equipment to address patient care in
the area more effectively."
Dr. Satit Pitutecha, Deputy Minister of Public Health, added, “During the pandemic, I have seen the kindness of Thai people—who have never abandoned one another. There is continuous support and help through donating money, items, equipment, and medical supplies. This boosts the morale of health care personnel in performing their duties to the best of their abilities. Ambulances are crucial in transferring patients to hospitals and having appropriate treatment systems when timeliness is needed. This support from Dow will enhance efficiency and raise the quality of our operations to international standards.”
