To accept the situation. and take care of the morale of the workers Another point is a temporary safe zone that the government has established for disaster victims to stay for a while. By following the issue of disease investigation and prevention. and the environment so that it does not affect health
Dr. Connan: Mae Sot Hospital is ready to deal with emergency situations from accidents. especially the dangers of war In the past, there was occasional care for those affected. But we have come to great pressure since the night of April 20, 2024, when 22 people wounded from the war were coming in for treatment at the same time, it is necessary to declare a level 3 emergency plan, or extreme level. that is, patients come in together. Because we have no power
“This is normal when there are many patients coming in from a disaster. disaster which war is considered a disaster A support plan will already be announced. After announcing the plan, it took about 3 hours for everything to be in place and the plan could end As for April 21-22, it was normal patient admissions , for example, on April 21, 16 people were injured they came, but gradually they were traveling in for treatment. It didn’t come together. So, there’s no need to announce the plan,” said Dr Chonnan.
Dr Chonnan said that patients in the last few days have come to receive services and they are still here, 82 people, most of them injured. Surgical treatment Surgery is required. Considered a disaster victim, not separated to any side. When the treatment is finished and you are discharged from the hospital, the security department will come to pick you up and give you more attention. Public Health Doctor Tak Provincial said that there were 113 patients in total, spread across several hospitals, including Umphang Hospital and hospitals on the border.

At the moment, it is not still there This is preparation. Including staff tools Separate operating rooms
Dr. Caring for evacuees in temporary safe havens is another issue. Recently there were about 1,600 people left from the 3,000 people who came. Gradually, there are people who have gone back. We pay attention to the health aspect, check the health status. An evaluation system was put in place to take into account the hygiene of food, water, and disease control, such as mosquito nets and various medicines.

We have the highest measures in place to support you. No matter how big the situation is. If an event reaches Level 3, we will announce a Level 3 plan, meaning we are ready to support it. From the perspective of politics on human rights, dimensions of health, and risk If it doesn’t happen, it’s better. All parties involved need each other’s help. Our country, in terms of politics, must do its best in this matter. Medicine and public health are primarily concerned with health care.
Ask what additional resources are required. Mae Sot Hospital again? Dr Chonnan said that we must, of course, look at it all the time. At the moment we have a problem with neurosurgeons.

Ask again what the situation is at the moment. Dr. Connan said that if the hospital is at level 3 because there are more than 20 people, but it can be treated very quickly, within 2-3 hours the plan can be closed. At the moment we are using a normal plan, we have not announced any plans, it is not an emergency, if they come in gradually, we can accept them. They can be managed in the hospital In the case of combat wounds, our hospital is ready in an emergency. Mae Sot Hospital can open up to 4 operating rooms.
