In a groundbreaking mission, Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, also Minister of Public Health and leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, accompanied a team of surgeons to urgently perform organ transplant surgeries in Sakon Nakhon.

 

The team expressed gratitude to donors who signed up for organ donation, aiding in the revival of numerous lives, reported INN.

 

Anutin, along with Dr. Pachar Ongjitr, a cardiac and thoracic surgeon from Chulalongkorn Hospital, and the medical team, traveled to Sakon Nakhon Hospital in the city district of Sakon Nakhon province.

 

Their objective was to extract organs from deceased individuals or those in a state of brain death, who had willingly signed organ donation consent forms. These essential body parts, encompassing hearts, kidneys, and eyes, were intended for transfer to extend the lives of severely unwell individuals.

 

While anticipating the surgical procedures, Anutin engaged with the families of the departed to convey sympathies and appreciation for the altruistic organ contributions made by their dear ones.He expressed support and raised a gesture of thanks, acknowledging the significant impact of their contributions in helping other patients.

So? he went on a hand holding mission? hardly seems newsworthy

His background is in construction so he is building his PM ambitions.

An old story, it happened many months back. One of his private planes was used for the transportation; and he's now Minister for the Interior since the last election.

Reminds me of a book I got one Christmas "DIY Brain Surgery".

He may have been health minister, but Lisa knows more about medicine than he does. This man could not pull a tick off a dog. His lack of talent is an astonishing thing to witness. 

I suspect he’s had a brain transplant himself except they forgot to replace the one they took out.

For Anutin any publicity is newsworthy.

Yes. But a thoroughly misleading headline. His 'team' were legally harvesting organs from cadavers and not expediting a transplant.

The article must be a a 'filler' for a slow news day.)

Ridiculous.

 

Something is seriously wrong when you have Anutin leading anything. 

Please tell me he doesn't actually fly his plane 😱

We're the organs extracted from people who took a shower 4 times per day or from filthy foreigners who take only 1 shower per day?

I don't think he is formally qualified, but he does have a doctor's shirt!

 

Bit of a polymath really, Thailand's very own renaissance man!
