Executives at Bangkok’s Decha Hospital have requested the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) for help to improve the facility following a temporary closure order over allegations of substandard services.
The request was made to keep the hospital operating pending new ownership.
Regarding approximately 40,000 Social Security Office (SSO) subscribers who will be transferred from Decha, Rajavithi and Lerdsin hospitals based in downtown Bangkok are prepared to take them, DHSS chief Dr Boonreung Traireungworarat said Thursday.
The department also instructed officials to check on practices at other medical facilities to ensure they met the legally required standards and provided quality healthcare for the benefit of the public.
