The Mall Korat hosts first out-patient unit in a department store
Suranaree University of Technology Hospital (SUTH) today (December 25) opened the country's first out-patient unit at a department store, in collaboration with The Mall Korat.
Located on the second floor of the store, in the centre of the province, the new facility offers a more accessible channel for healthcare service.
The unit, under the concept of medical edutainment, provides information on health issues. There are two physicians working on two shifts, treating a wide range of health problems as well as preforming minor surgeries and prescribing special medicines.
Patient in need of surgeries will be sent to the main hospital.
There are two examination rooms, two operation rooms, fitted with modern medical equipment and a world-standard information system for speed and convenience.
The Mall Korat Department Store has waived rental fee of the facility for three years.
The OPD is open daily from 8 am - 8 pm including public holidays. Adjustments will be made, if the number of patients exceeds the current capacity for 150.
