WHA Group recently made a 10 million baht donation to Siriraj hospital and Ramathibodi hospital to help those impacted the most by the COVID-19 crisis. Among the most affected are medical staff who work tirelessly around the clock to save lives.

Two donations were made to Siriraj Hospital’s Faculty of Medicine. Four million baht from Ms. Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, and one million baht from the Dr Somyos Anantaprayoon Foundation went to the Siriraj Soo Pai Covid Fund for much-needed medical supplies to treat COVID-19 patients.

Four million baht from WHA Group, and one million baht from the Dr Somyos Anantaprayoon Foundation, will be used to purchase ventilators and ECMO machines to support patients with severe respiratory conditions.

“During this time of need, we respond to a call to help our front liners in these government hospitals that are most actively caring for patients of the COVID-19 crisis,” said Ms Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, Chairman and Group CEO of WHA Corporation PCL,. “With the increasing number of infected cases, hospitals are facing a lack of medical items necessary for treatment.
