He said Public Health Minister Dr Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn had also assigned him to discuss the matter with Fort Ingkhayuttaboriharn Hospital. Working under the Defence Ministry, Fort Ingkhayuttaboriharn Hospital in Pattani had stopped providing haemodialysis late last week because Y & P Pharmaceutical – which had operated the services at the hospital’s compound – no longer had a valid licence after it expired last Thursday. After being told of the end of the service, more than 100 of the patients who used to receive haemodialysis demanded that the hospital provide assistance. Another option was that patients seek the services from other hospitals, with Fort Ingkhayuttaboriharn Hospital ready to facilitate referrals and help with free transportation. Jesada said Pattani Hospital should be able to immediately take over care for nearly 20 patients from Fort Ingkhayuttaboriharn Hospital.
