Don Mueang and Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province, that in the case of the Don Mueang District Hospital, Bangkok, there are quite a lot of details, because Bangkok is an area with many people involved. which has been reported that Having visited the area 2-3 times, we tried to choose an area that was suitable for the people. It also answers the needs of transportation. Because somewhere is ready or everything is ready. But people cannot access it due to traffic problems. Another matter is to answer the service needs that will arise. All management challenges must be addressed. Both the affiliation of each sector Managing work mechanisms and budgets, which Bangkok can be a challenging point that takes time and relying on reasonable precision which the team has reported to you But you have to find the opportunity to go to each point yourself again.

Asked if initially they would coordinate with the Air Force Hospital (Si Kan) to open outpatient care first or not. Dr. Amporn said: I have such interest. But we must take into account the readiness of the relevant sectors. Because we still don’t know the concerns or limitations of various sectors. There must be an invitation to discuss together first. I would try to make it as fast as possible.

Expand service to Chiang Mai city area Opening the outpatient system on 1 Nov.

Dr. Amporn said: The other area is a city and is still lacking. The secondary hospital is Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province because this area is a center. Tertiary level hospitals, including Nakornping Hospital, Suan Dok Hospital, Chiang Mai Prasat Hospital But the outer districts are community hospitals, but we don’t have a provincial hospital like this. There are no hospitals in other provinces or hospitals that are at the secondary level. There will be cooperation. Using the potential of the Medical Department, Chiang Mai Neurological Hospital, which is considered an advanced tertiary hospital in the matter of the nervous system. There is a topic of surgery in the dimension of the brain and nervous system. Taking care of advanced brain problems

However, we still have the potential to expand to support some of the secondary issues. It is also a sharing process where patients previously had congestion in Community Hospital, an extension of Nakornping Hospital, we will also share services from doctors there. Chiang Mai Prasat Hospital and Nakornping Hospital come to support services. By keeping the people at the center It is not specified where the area is. Who must do it alone? But will come work together Which will start at least. Opening the outpatient system on 1 November.

Asked about needing to find additional space to expand in the future to become a secondary hospital, in addition to using the space. Chiang Mai Psychiatric Hospital or not? Dr. Amporn said: Short-term plan: We are still quite looking at this area and expect it to be sufficient. But the additional thing may be secondary services in other fields, which Chiang Mai Neurological Hospital may not be able to answer this problem much, such as mother and child work. The Health Center 1, Chiang Mai, may be a point where the working group sees that it may be able to help provide further services in this matter. This will reduce congestion at Nakornping Hospital and make the system more flexible.
