webfact Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Cabinet earmarks larger budget for health volunteers as PM hails ‘Auntie Dee’ for her first-aid knowledge By The Nation Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha applauded Nalinee “Auntie Dee” Noodee for having the presence of mind to provide immediate aid and save a person who had been electrocuted. Meanwhile, the Cabinet agreed to allocate more funds for village and Bangkok health volunteer organisations. In a Facebook post, the premier said Nalinee had used her knowledge as a village health volunteer to provide CPR to the victim until he gained consciousness before having the patient delivered to hospital. Nalinee reportedly worked as a village health volunteer for four years and also worked with a local Red Cross operation. Meanwhile, the Cabinet has decided to allocate Bt3.6 billion of the Public Health Ministry’s Bt45-billion loan to health volunteer organisations in villages as well as in Bangkok. The volunteers will be paid Bt4,500, which will cover a Bt500 subsidy per month from March to September and another Bt1,000 for medical expenses in September.

khunjeff Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 That's all very nice, but investing in professionals rather than enthusiastic amateurs would probably be a better long-term strategy for improving health and safety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
