PHUKET: A 1-year-old boy suffering from severe pneumonia is in hospital recovering after the Commander of the Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command, based in Phuket, deployed a large patrol boat to transport the boy from a speedboat overpowered by large waves off Koh Adang to the mainland amid the storm conditions that battered the Andaman Coast on Tuesday night.

 

Vice Admiral Somnuk Preampramot, Commander of the Third Area Command in Phuket, gave the order for patrol boat PCM 993 to render assistance after Cdr Niyawat PeungCheun, Commander of Air and Coastal Defense Command 491, received a call from doctors at the Ban Koh Lipe Tambon Health Promoting Hospital explaining the situation.

 

The health of the young boy, Worachot Namwong, had taken a turn for the worse from about 3pm on Tuesday (June 19). With Worachot’s severe symptoms not abating after five hours, doctors at the hospital called the national emergency Narenthorn EMS Center to dispatch a helicopter to medevac the child to Satun Hospital on the mainland.
