State helps fund upgrade of Pluak Daeng hospital 2The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Policy Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, yesterday greenlighted a 2-billion-baht investment to upgrade Pluak Daeng hospital 2 in Rayong. Pluak Daeng hospital 2 will become the first hospital in the country in which the government will establish a joint venture with the private sector, with the bidding for its construction scheduled to be called early next month. Pluak Daeng hospital 2 is in Rayong province, one of the three provinces that comprise the government's flagship EEC development project. It is expected that the upgraded second hospital in Pluak Daeng district would become operational over the next three years. Only the Thai private sector is allowed to participate in this investment project."
