Play
Supporters of sidelined Public Health Ministry permanent secretary Dr Narong Sahametapat will petition the prime minister this week to inform him in writing about the problems in the ministry, a leader of the group said yesterday.
Dr Prachumporn Booncharoen, an adviser to the Federation of Centre and General Hospitals and a representative of the public health community, said that representatives from the community would go to Government House to submit their letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
She said the public health personnel would gather peacefully and that their gathering would not be of a political nature.
“The public health community just calls for changes and reform of the public health system. We don’t want to create unrest or oppose the government,” Prachumporn said.
She also stressed that the group was against the order to move Narong to an inactive post at the Prime Minister’s Office .
