The third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has seen infections skyrocket, especially in Bangkok and nearby provinces. And there's no sign of it stopping just yet.
Thai doctors and healthcare personnel are now working hard to treat the rising number of infected patients at both hospitals and field hospitals amid concerns of possible shortages of medical equipment and supplies in the near future.
That's why everyone is once again invited to help by making donations in the form of cash or simply sending necessary items that are in high demand by the following hospitals:
