Police raid illegal Don Muang clinics

Public health officials and police on Sunday raided four illegal medical clinics and arrested four suspects in Bangkok’s Don Muang district on Sunday.

The Sunday raid on the four unlicensed clinics – all located in the Si Kan subdistrict – was part of the Public Health Ministry’s crackdown on illegal medical operations in Bangkok, co-led by Pasit Sakdanarong, adviser to the public health minister, and Children and Women Protection Sub-division commander Wiwat Kamchamnarn.

The first two clinics, Si Kan Medical Clinic and Song Prapa Medical Clinic, were located on Song Prapa Road. The other two were Sirisook Medical Clinic situated on Pracha Uthit Road and Prom Medical Clinic on Wat Weruwanaram Road.

    Did another illegal Clinic just want to get rid of it's competition, so they inform the Police?
    Maybe there was another motivation that led to the Police raid.

    Officials, who were acting on tip-offs from the public, found the third and fourth clinics were owned by the same person, Mr Pasit said.

    ...And that person is?

    Some government officials were found to have bought medical certificates from these clinics, he said.

    ...And these officials are?

    Does this mean they will be making a sweep of Sukhumvit sidewalk vendors selling prescriptions drugs? The drugs are mostly viagra, etc and others as well. They may or may not be real. I was surprise recently as to how many vendors were selling these drugs openly as the police walk by. Selective policing I guess.
