The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has introduced new services in BMA-run hospitals to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang said the BMA was launching The New Normal Health Service to ease overcrowding in BMA-run hospitals, a factor that had led to the virus spreading among patients and health workers.
Four million out-patients and 100,000 in-patients use the BMA s hospitals each year.
Mr Aswin said the new normal services were telemedicine to allow remote communication and diagnosis between doctors and patients plus blood testing at home and delivering prescription medicines at drug stores near patients homes or even with the help of postal couriers.
The Poh Teck Tung Foundation’s rescue team received an urgent call on Sunday (Feb 14) to help a man pull his “finger” out of an iron ring. The call had come from the Luang Phor Taweesak Chutinataro Uthit Hospital in Bangkok’s Nong Khaem district. However, when rescue volunteers arrived, they learned that it was a penis that was jammed inside.
