Last week, we celebrated moving to a new BeiGene office in Bangkok with a traditional "Merit-Making" ceremony, which was a special moment for our local team in Thailand. Thailand has a population of 70 million people, and the #cancer burden is immense with around 184,000 new cancer cases each year and 119,000 people dying from cancer annually. With a per capita GDP of just $7,000 USD, affordable #access to high-quality #medicine remains extremely challenging for cancer patients, their families, and doctors. In Thailand, we are determined to have an impact and make a difference. Our foundational belief is that WHERE you live should not determine IF you live ❤️. We’re proud to have a team of passionate and dedicated people committed to changing the trajectory of cancer care in Thailand. Thank you to Supapun Tungpoonsupsiri, Pintip Roongadulpisan, Kannika Numuang and Ratana Kulkantrakorn for your clear vision and #leadership as we build our organization and work towards faster, broader access to high-quality medicine for cancer patients in Thailand (the 'Land of Smiles'). Cancer has no borders. Neither do we. 🌏
