In Thailand, the standard chemotherapy regimen for treating Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is ABVD, which includes the following drugs:

Adriamycin (doxorubicin)
Bleomycin
Vinblastine
Dacarbazine (DTIC)

 

In Thailand, common chemotherapy regimens for treating Hodgkin lymphoma include ABVD (Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine), which is a globally recognized first-line treatment, especially for newly diagnosed cases. This combination is preferred for its effectiveness in achieving remission in early to intermediate stages. For more aggressive cases or if initial treatment does not succeed, the BEACOPP regimen (Bleomycin, Etoposide, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, Procarbazine, Prednisone) may be used, though it often comes with more side effects due to its intensity.

 

Seems they are available?

AFAIK obinuzamatab and venetoclax are not available in Thailand.

 

I don't know how many hospitals in Thailand have CAT scanning facilities that include the administration of radioactive carbon isotopes to measure tumor progression.

 

Due to private health insurance in Australia, I paid nothing for CAT scans, blood tests and monthly infusions. I paid about $100 for a years' worth of venetoclax medication.

I keep my Thai SSO Card in my wallet. 

My good friend just died in a Cambodian hospital from an AVC ( we think). He died alone.  His son found out a good few days later so too late to do anything.  I’m not sure how they contacted him although he’d lived quite a few years there. 
A year or two ago, a young lady was walking on lonely beach and fell down dead. I think I read about it on Asean. It took them a long time to find out who she was etc. So a dog tag thing could be a good option. 
But, question, what if a foreigner is in ICU and has no ID ?? 
would they treat him or what ? He/she could be on holiday and staying elsewhere , for example a day trip from bangkok.

there is a pretty neat new service that covers that and more.. 1 if u get in trouble with the LAW you call them as it happens and they will talk to the authorities to prevent some funny business as good as possible.. 2 when u have an accident they have ur med history medications and all info you could not disclose when u incapacitated such as what kind of hospital you wish to be driven to etc. they also have your wishes e.g. you want life saving surgery or not and in what circumstances.. they issue a physical card .. the ambulances in TH call and the company then instructs according to ur wishes etc..3  also in case you pass away they organise the paperwork and honour your wishes to whats going to happen once you are gone either buried or burned in thailand or back to your home country.. costs about 7k a year..

i thought about it .. is it worth it?..my initial thought was hey if something happens my GF or friends can assist but thats wishful thinking as they are (except your GF is a lawyer) in way above their heads and cant resolve anything compared to professionals that do that for living

What is the name of this Service? Can be helpfully
