The Public Health Ministry is teaming up with private hospitals to provide medical treatment for people in flooded provinces.
About 40 private hospitals in Bangkok and the Central region are expected to join in. The move comes after many provincial hospitals were left inundated.
“Patients will be treated at private hospitals for free. All they need to do is give hospital staff their social security details,” Public Health Minister Witthaya Buranasiri said.
He also instructed hospitals in Bangkok and adjacent provinces, including Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani, to be prepared for the flood situation and make evacuation plans.
