Pattaya City will set up a Continuity of Care (COC) facility, for patients who are bed-ridden, suffering from pressure sores, chronic wounds, high or low blood pressure and diabetes, to ensure the continuation of care after discharge from hospital.

 

Pattaya City Mayor Sontaya Kunplome said today (Sunday) that the project has been approved by the city council and is in the process of designating a hospital to implement the project and to work out staffing details and the equipment and technology to be used at the new facility.

 

He said that Pattaya City is coordinating closely with the village and community health service management centre and has adequate public health volunteers, who are to be mobilised to work for the project, to facilitate the delivery of patients to the facility and to provide counselling to the patients and their families.

This is a really good idea, if it comes to fruition.

Thailand lacks care facility for its needy in the community, to match the demand for it.

I do hope this works well and expands its horizons to elderly care generally, and then perhaps needy children too. And the poverty stricken.

Here's hoping.
