Medical personnel at the Srinakharin Hospital of Khon Kaen University, in Thailand’s northeast, are being urged to rally in front of the hospital’s library today (Monday) at 4.30pm to protest against the shortage of face masks.

 

The call for the demonstration was made by Professor Dr. Veerachai Kwosuwan, former lecturer at the Medical Science Faculty of Khon Kaen University, to highlight alleged mismanagement of mask distribution by the Ministry of Commerce.

 

Political activist Srisuwan Janya, meanwhile, has urged Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to fire Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanavisit and director-general of the Internal Trade Department, Mr. Vichai Pochanakit, for their alleged failure to ensure sufficient face masks to meet domestic demand, especially for medical personnel on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19.

" urged to rally in front of the hospital’s library "

 

mmmm... things to avoid during infectious disease outbreak:

 

1. Public gaterhings/crowded places

2. Hospitals.

Why they don't make them themselves like the government is pushing? 

[atyclb]

other hospitals have no masks either including the one my friend works at. medical doctors largely believe the health minister is an idiot

You would think they would be ashamed ridiculed etc.....cant even organise enough face masks for hospital staff and joe public not a chance of buying any......yet 200 million have gone somewhere.

 

But its just a bunch of old soldiers not truly elected being given jobs as ministers running the country. 

 

Minister of healths qualificaton for the job ......once bought a packet of paracetamol.

 

Thai people are naturally compliant taught not to question or think too much and those who are smart have enough money to conform, their are exceptions but they are quickly silenced.
