A subcommittee of the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is set to discuss the problem of a lack of hospital beds at state and private hospitals today (Wednesday), to accommodate the increasing number of severe COVID-19 cases.

 

General Nattaphon Narkphanit, head of the CCSA panel, said today that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is concerned with reports that several hospitals are running low on available beds and wants the Ministry of Public Health to address the problem and, if necessary, seek help from military hospitals.

 

In the coastal province of Samut Sakhon, it is reported that the Samut Sakhon Hospital, the Krathum Baen Hospital and the Banphaeo General Hospital now have a combined number of 63 unoccupied beds, out of a total of 541. Moreover, private hospitals in the province have reported that their combined 873 bed capacity is now almost full.
