Four modular ICUs at a field hospital in Bangkok are opening this month. One was opened on July 12th, another opened today (Thursday) and two more are expected to become operational next week, according to Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang.

 

The governor inspected the progress of the construction of two more modular ICUs today, at Siam Ratchapipat field hospital, being set up by the Siam Cement Group (SCG) to accommodate severe COVID-19 cases. He said that all 10 beds at the first unit are now occupied by severe cases.

 

The two additional units are expected to be completed and opened by the end of this month, he said, adding that all the four units can accommodate 40 patients in a severe condition, as each unit is fully equipped with ventilators, heart monitors, communication systems and negative pressure rooms and are staffed with medical personnel from Thonburi Hospital.

Just need a hundred or two of these units.

 

Nothing like preparation.
