Health minister says 5 billion baht fund is just a temporary reprieve

Public Health Minister Dr Piyasakol Sakolsattayathorn said today that the 5 billion baht emergency fund recently approved by the cabinet for loss-ridden state hospitals throughout the country would be enough to ease their liquidity problem for a certain period of time.

 

More measures will have to be meted out to resolve the financial problem of state hospitals so that, in the long run, they will be able to stand on their feet, financially, he added.

 

One of the measures is to allow hospitals which are adequately staffed and equipped and catering to many patients to operate after office hours so that they will have extra revenues, said the minister, adding that state hospitals must be more aggressive in providing medical services.

Amazing. Yesterday there was an article about the government forming a special fund from unused budgetary funds. Included in this was more than B 400 million from ..... drum roll ..... the Health department. Yet every week we read that the B 30 scheme is too expensive and there are hospitals bankrupt.

I find this part scary when looking at the way this government operates literally.

Yes, met something out like how the submarines will be paid for, then of ongoing operations and maintenance. Seemed easy to find money for those huge costs.
