PHUKET: The long-awaited Chalong Hospital will not be likely to open until at least the end of the year, the hospital’s director has confirmed. The news comes as the promise of the hospital opening in April flew by last month, a promise made as recently as October.

 

 

Contacted by The Phuket News this week, Dr Chuchart Nijwattana, who already has been assigned Director of the Chalong Hospital but still works out of Vachira Phuket Hospital while waiting for the works to be completed, attributed the delay to the need “to open a full service hospital”.

 

The explanation given by Dr Chuchart this week flies in the face of his own repeated announcements of what the initial opening would entail, and what facilities and services would be available. It also comes with no public announcements. Replies were provided only on questioning.

That is the building that was completed more than one year ago, right? Standing empty all that time, no work whatsoever done, and now almost one year announced delay, so most likely will end up being more.

 

Incredible.
