A private hospital in Khlong Luang district of Pathum Thani province is facing a fine and its management may face imprisonment after it was found to have advertised COVID-19 treatment packages which included Favipiravir and Molnupiravir to home isolation patients, in violation of the Hospital Act.

 

Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Health Service Support Department, and Dr. Surachoke Tangwiwat, deputy secretary-general of the Thai Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) led a team of health officials to the hospital yesterday (Wednesday) to investigate.

 

The two doctors said that the hospital, the name of which was withheld, did not have permission from the Health Service Support Department to publish the advertisement offering the medical service packages.
