The Rural Doctors Society and its allies will protest in front of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's residence from June 6 onward to press for the dismissal of Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong.
They have accused Pradit of many wrongdoings.
Thai Kidney Club of Thailand chairman Saharat Sarapaiwanich said someone had secretly plotted to destroy the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation and push for a co-payment system at the expense of patients.
“Such actions will put kidney patients in serious trouble,” he said.
As part of the protest, Saharat said more than 50 kidney patients would undergo dialysis in front of Yingluck’s house on June 6.
“If she ignores us, the number of patients in front of her house will increase,” he said.
