Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin recently made a visit to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital to check the progress of the new 18-story Medical Excellence Centre. He was accompanied by Somsak Thepsuthin, the Public Health Minister and other important health officials. The visit aimed to measure the development of the venture and chalk plans for establishing the hospital as a major medical hub in northeast.

 

During his visit, Srettha repeated the government's commitment to the project. He discussed plans for the allocation of budget for purchasing medical appliances, and also talked about workforce requirements and payments.

 

 

The centre is being created to serve nearly 6.7 million people. It is expected to boost public health services and decrease the healthcare gaps in Nakhon Ratchasima, Chaiyaphum, Buri Ram, and Surin provinces. The facility, which covers over 100,000 square meters and for which over 4.4 billion baht has been budgeted, is a crucial part of a bigger initiative to enhance infrastructure across five regional hospitals.

 

The goals of the centre include cutting down mortality rates by reducing overcrowding, limiting patient transfers, reducing travel expenses and quickening access to healthcare, which will transform this provincial hospital into a specialized medical research institute.
