PR Phuket announced the plan in a post on its official Facebook page today (June 19), saying that “reporters” had explained basic details of the project. However, The Phuket News had previously confirmed from a source that the concept was discussed on June 4 at a meeting at Phuket Provincial Hall attended by 16 consuls and honorary consuls in Phuket, but was unable to obtain any official confirmation of the project.

webfact Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Phuket plans ambitious project to emerge as international medical hub By The Nation Phuket has proposed an international medical services project on 140 rai (224,000 square metres) of land to make the province a medical hub. A Phuket official suggested on Thursday that "developing an international medical and public health services centre would ensure safety and value-added tourism". The proposed project will tap state property besides the Tha Chat Chai Police Station in Thalang district for a total of around 140 rai, some 16-17 kilometres from the airport. The idea was conceived due to the Covid-19 outbreak which has severely damaged tourism. Locals are seeing hardly any recovery even after the government has lifted all strict measures, as tourists will practise social distancing until a vaccine is found. Officials believe that this project will help Phuket have a strong appeal in the long-term.

Lingba Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have lived in Thailand a very long time and have had to utilize various medical establishments over the years..from local clinics to fancy international hospitals..like anywhere else there are good doctors and bad doctors and its a crapshoot finding the right one for your particular needs...as a foreigner have learned that you have no recourse should anything go wrong..absolutely no protection whatsoever...and the worst part is the manner all of these hospitals prioritorize things...its all based on how much money they think they can get out of you and very very few places will place your well being in the fore front 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
