Jonathan Fairfield Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 “Team Thailand”: Elite medical squad at war with Covid-19 It was the meeting Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had on March 6 at the Government House with Thailand’s top medical experts that many believed helped set the government’s direction in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. – Photo from the Government House Thais are now pinning their hopes on “Team Thailand”, the term Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul coined to describe the panel of medical gurus tasked with defending the nation against the deadly Covid-19 onslaught. “This is the best team we have. If it can’t do the job, no one else can,” said Anutin, speaking at a March-21 press conference, flanked by former public health minister Dr Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn and Dr Prasit Watanapa, dean of Mahidol University’s Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital. The elite team brings together the heads of medical schools, royal colleges and the Medical Council to weaponize academic expertise and the Public Health Ministry’s experience in the battle to prevent the highly infectious disease from breaking loose in the country.

Ian Nagle Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I hope "Team Thailand" has a few substitutes on the bench. I fear some of them there might be stretchered off the field of play in the next few coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of experience among those medical experts. Anutin, like him or not, is in charge of the virus response and looks like a leader to Thais, moreso than any general you wish to name. The generals all appear to have gone AWOL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
