In a three-year agreement, the organizations will work together to provide full-scale health care to air pressure staff and their households, employees at another government agencies, and residents of northern Bangkok, including Don Muang area and surrounding areas.
According to the memorandum of agreement signed lately, access to health services, individual referral processes, and the quality of local hospitals and medical personnel are all improving.
