This Sunday, June 15th: We will have Dr. Sunya, Founder and Owner of Pattaya International Hospital speaking on: Low-Wattage Intravenous Laser A new dimension in treating many chronic non curable diseases is now available at PIH. It induces rejuvenation of body cells and is possibly the most effective anti-aging therapy available today. It was discovered in 1980 by Russian scientists. But to this day, it hasnt received due attention- Why? Is it a Conspiracy? Come join us this Sunday to hear all about it from Dr. Sunya the Founder and Owner of Pattaya International Hospital. He has spoken to the club many times and is a wonderful and engaging speaker who will keep you interested for sure. About the Speaker From humble beginnings the Pattaya International Hospital, a thoroughly modern medical facility is a Pattaya landmark today. In 1974 Dr. Sunya came to Pattaya and against the advice of friends and colleagues, established the Pattaya International Clinic or PIC as it is still affectionately called by many long - term residents here. After a tremendous amount of sheer unremitting hard work, fully utilizing his medical and his entrepreneurial skills, the clinic developed in 1980 into a twenty-bed hospital. The current ten storied, eighty-bed, high-tech hospital, which was opened in 1990, is the product of those humble beginnings. Dr. Sunya also understood that in a resort community such as Pattaya, patient stay might be short. So, he adopted the policy of educating his patients on the nature of their condition and of what they, the patients,could do to help themselves after leaving the hospital. The practice of medicine From the beginning Dr. Sunyas objective was to provide a continually developing high level of medicine, ever future oriented, affordable to every Pattaya resident. Over the years many of the medical concepts and innovations he first put into practice here have become standard practice in Thailand and around the world. And today, when you find him deep in thought, even if it looks like hes just relaxing by the pool, or strolling down the fairway, you can bet that hes working on something new. Thats the way it is with men of vision, and Dr. Sunya Viravaidya is certainly one of those men.
