He said public hospitals have been overwhelmed with outpatient cases, so the NHSO has teamed up with the Pharmacy Council to use drugstores as a new channel for taking care of green Covid patients. Jadet said each drugstore will be given Bt700 per Covid-19 patient and the cost covers:- Medical advice for patients “to behave” during self-isolation;- Cost of green chiretta herb capsules and basic drugs for treating symptoms, and other medicines doctors may prescribe, as well as the delivery cost;- Service fee for providing advice on medicine use and for monitoring the patient’s condition for 48 hours;- The cost for coordinating patient transfer when their condition deteriorates and they need hospitalisation.
