The hospital’s chief demands that Somsak review the medical council’s statement that criticizes specialists.
The Medical Council of Thailand’s determination to skill three physicians for treating former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been reviewed by the chairman of Police General Hospital, according to the request of the public health secretary, Somsak Thepsutin.
At the Ministry of Public Health on Tuesday night, Pol Lt Gen Dr. Thaweesin Vejvithan, the honorary president of the clinical council, presented a two-page email to Mr. Somsak, whose office is also its honourable chairman, to his attorney.
The attorney told him he was providing “new pieces of information” that the government did not submit to the government during its investigation, according to Thanakrit Chitareerat, an aide to the secretary.
The council’s investigative committee established on May 8 to come to the conclusion that three doctors had an unethical practice by making the claim that Thaksin’s state was” critical” when all the evidence suggested it wasn’t. It advised putting a notice on the fourth doctor and suspending the licenses of two others.
Officials in charge of Thaksin’s case have repeatedly stated that his” critical” condition justified his transfer from a prison hospital to Police General Hospital, where he spent the entire 180-day sentence in a VIP room.
A working class, according to Mr. Thanakrit, would examine the new information the mind of the police hospital had provided and would make recommendations to Mr. Somsak as to whether it fit the physician council’s report.
The chancellor “has complete authority to reject a decision made by the physician council” if it is found to possess deviated from the expected health standards, Mr. Thanakrit said.
” The government and the skilled government are not at odds with one another because things have been done in accordance with the regulations,” he said.
The new distribution, according to him, did not lengthen the process of reviewing the agency’s report, which must be completed in 15 days.
A skilled council committee will vote on the full 72-member council after receiving the minister’s recommendation. The final decision must have a two-thirds lot vote in order to be approved.
The head of the police doctor, according to Netithorn Linhatrakul, was angry with the report because it had harmed his popularity. He wanted to proclaim his innocence defense straight, therefore. He said that everything would be made clear to the minister for his thought, but he declined to provide more details.
After 15 years of self-imposed captivity, Thaksin returned to Thailand on August 22, 2023.
He was taken to the Supreme Court that evening, where he received a sentence of eight years in prison for violating the constitution and having conflicts of interest while serving as prime minister earlier to 2006. Following the royal mercy, the sentence was afterwards reduced to a year.
Because he had neck pain, hypertension, and lower blood oxygen levels, doctors decided to transfer him to Police General Hospital on his first night while he was there. According to some, the prison doctor lacked the resources and training to treat people who were in critical condition.
Thaksin, who turns 76 in July, was lawfully permitted to spend 120 days receiving treatment outside of prison, but the Department of Corrections authorized him to be there for 180 days, citing the risk that problems there had put a strain on his life.
A parliamentary committee was informed last November that Thaksin had covered all expenses for his six-month remain, including a VIP room on the doctor’s 14th floor that cost 8,500 baht per night.
A unique examination will be conducted by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions to ascertain whether Thaksin’s jail sentence was effectively carried out.
Among those summoned to give information are Thaksin and his girl, the prime minister. The initial hearing is scheduled for June 13.
