There are five doctors and 21 nurses now on staff, working out of the well-known blue building that has sat empty for well over a year, Chalong Hospital Director Dr Chuchart Nijwattana told The Phuket News this week. “Only the ground floor and first floor are currently used by hospital staff. The top two floors remain unoccupied,” he said.

Old Croc Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 "Construction has even yet to begin for a separate two-story “x-ray room building” to be built from a B14mn donation from the administrators of the Put Cho Shrine. The donation includes paying for an x-ray machine. “We are waiting for the Ministry of Health to approve the construction. I don’t know when they will grant their approval,” Dr Chuchart said." thephuketnews.com Every hospital requires an X-ray department, the money to build one has been donated, yet the Ministry has still not approved it years down the track.

Asked about that construction. This will be the emergency ambulance bay and reception. ER care area. Then the old clinic/ER will be pulled down. Looks like a a year's work at least.
