Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 Health Minister eyes Thailand’s medical tourism post COVID-19 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Minister of Public Health is optimistic Thailand will be the first choice of medical tourists after the COVID-19 pandemic ends, thanks to the country’s robust public health system and hospitality. Speaking at the opening ceremony of a spine center at Nakornthon Hospital in Bangkok, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul stressed the country’s readiness to generate revenue from the healthcare sector, and to improve healthcare services to members of the public. He said the opening of the spine center shows Thailand’s ability in terms of technologies and services to serve patients, while the Ministry of Public Health is willing to facilitate requests for the necessary permits and licenses from hospitals. Mr Anutin said Thailand will become the destination of choice among medical tourism visitors after the COVID-19 pandemic, as the country has a robust public health system, an advanced level of medical service, highly skilled healthcare workers, and impressive hospitality. He said this will help the country generate income, while the Ministry of Public Health will be positioning Thailand as the world’s medical superpower. Nakornthon Hospital’s spine center has been opened in cooperation with Bumrungrad Hospital’s Health Network. After presiding at the opening ceremony, the Minister of Public Health then travelled to Nakhon Phanom to open a kidney center and meet with some 4,000 village health volunteers. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-11-19 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Anutin was not referring to his own impressive hospitality when he made this statement.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 What Anutin says should always be disregarded. He is without doubt, one of the least competent and experienced ministers in the cabinet. Never forget this infamous and stunningly ignorant comment. It’s winter right now in Europe so these people are fleeing the cold, in Thailand. Many are dressed dirtily and never shower. As hosts we have to be careful,” read one of the posts, according to an article by Bangkok-based news site Khaosod English. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive initiatives, based on past models do have some degree of credibility. There seems to be a bit of fortune telling, wishful thinking and stage performance by many actors as to what the future will bring. Having lived here many years, and witnessed many curtain calls, closing productions that have brought minimal or absent results, it is difficult to take such stage shows seriously, particularly from the featured stand-in. A free society can ridicule the ridiculous, or applaud the credible...at least for now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
