Today, representatives from Thailand’s Veterans General Hospital presented evidence of a large-scale drug procurement fraud involving hospital staff. The operation, allegedly involving nurses and doctors, saw prescription drugs diverted and resold through an intricate network.

 

General Detnitit Luangngamkham, Director-General of the War Veterans Organization, and the Veterans Hospital Director shared the details with the Anti-Corruption Division, alongside officials from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC).

 

Investigations revealed that senior physicians orchestrated the diversion of medications, recruiting intermediaries to enlist government officials with medical reimbursement privileges. Patients were directed to simulate illnesses to obtain prescriptions, which were then stored in condos and laundry shops before distribution.

 

 

The scheme spanned years, with recruits transported from Lopburi and other provinces to collect drugs.

 

Phumwisal Kasemsuk from the PACC indicated that initial findings involve hundreds, including at least 20 high-ranking officials. "We are committed to bringing everyone involved in this network to justice," he affirmed, reported Thai News Agency.

Fair play, that’s some heavy duty S! Hospitals here seen to be businesses first anyway, pushing their drugs at hugely over-inflated prices. All about the coin.

What a totally broken people and culture. Everything about them is a facade.
