Health officials were criticised for inadequate measures against the pandemic while doctors and nurses faced a shortage of medical supplies. "Back in March, Thailand had 200-300 infections and I wanted to use my skills to do something to support the frontline medical personnel. Meanwhile, Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute (BIDI) helped several hospitals across the country set up healthcare systems during the Covid-19 pandemic. "Despite strict restrictions, I had a chance to witness how a doctor conducted a nasal swab test on Covid-19 patients prior to sending them home. It shows one of the many difficulties frontline medical professionals have experienced."
