Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha made a surprise visit to Bamrasnaradura Institute of Infectious Diseases yesterday evening (Tuesday), to offer moral support to medical personnel and patients infected with COVID-19.

 

Accompanied by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Public Health Permanent Secretary Dr. Sukhum Kanchanapimai and senior health officials, the Prime Minister visited the ARI clinic, which screens patients suffering from respiratory diseases, and was briefed about the activities of the institute, which serves as the centre for the testing and treatment of coronavirus infection.

 

Via CCTV, he told a coronavirus patient to have patience, assuring him that he will be able to return home after treatment. The Prime Minister and his delegation then went to the Department of Disease Control, which is in the same compound of the Public Health Ministry, to visit the health emergency operations centre and to hold a video conference with public health chiefs in 76 provinces across the country.

What a great day for the only 20 people infected and still in hospital in Thailand.


Or did he also visit the near 2.000 PUI patients still waiting for their test-results?

 

In France the test can be done in most private laboratories in the country; it costs 54 euros.
70% of this amount is reimbursed by Social Security and the remaining 30% is reimbursed by mutuals for those who have it.
Even if you do not have a mutual health insurance you only pay out of your pocket 38 euros = 1330 baht.
We are very far from the astronomical sums claimed in Thailand

I would like to know if the numbers of viral pneumonia gone up? Does anyone have this info?

The number of PUI patients waiting for their test results go up day by day. Now at nearly 2000 admitted patients, with not test results.

 

Thailand is unlike other countries simply doing way to few tests, which produces a completely false picture of the reality.

 

The handling of the virus situation in Thailand is appalling.

It's a small hospital, 250 beds and the main quarantine hospital for infectious diseases. He should visit the other ones where about 1700 more are waiting for their pending tests results, likely stuck somewhere at the NIH lab located right next to Bamrasnaradura.

Bamrasnaradura quotes 2500 baht for lab work for MERS, it's a similar RT-PCR test so I'd say that's about how much it costs here. Processing time 3 days or 24h if ordered express. Very likely done at the NIH WHO reference lab situated next door to it. All of these belong to MoPH, led by Anutin.
