The Covid-19 outbreak is hitting the world very hard. Thailand is no exception. While our doctors and healthcare personnel have been working hard to deal with an increasing number of infected cases, they are facing a lack of many medical items necessary for treatment.
Medical masks and hand sanitisers are now in dire need by medical staff at all hospitals across the country and people who have a large quantity of the items in stock, or can afford to acquire them, are encouraged to donate them to hospitals.
Also, many hospitals in Bangkok that are taking care of a large number of infected patients are running short of major medical equipment and supplies. This is quite a serious problem, as the shortage can badly affect other patients in serious condition who might be suffering from non-Covid-19 diseases as well.
This is the time everyone is promptly invited to help by making donations. Here is a list of hospitals that have announced that they urgently need money for the provision of necessary equipment to save the lives of our fellow citizens:
- King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital's Faculty of Medicine is raising money for the "Covid-19 Disease Donation" fund to cover the increasing expenses of medicine, medical supplies, medical equipment and the treatment of infected patients.
