Help heal the ill
Suan Dok Hospital in Chiang Mai is seeking millions of baht in donaŽtions to treat heart and brain diseases.
There are about 100 sufferers on its operation waiting list. It needs Bt53 million to buy equipment to meet this demand.
Chiang Mai University runs the hospital. This Wednesday it's broadcasting a television programme appealing for help.
It is also Mahidol Day and the programme inŽcludes a documentary about the late Prince of Songkhla, His Majesty the King's father who founded the university. The show can be seen on Modernine at 10.15pm.
Medical school chief Dr Niwes Nanthakij says the money will pay for inpatient care. If it is to cope with outpaŽtients, too, then it needs another Bt121 million.
The hospital has a newer name - Maha Raj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital. It will build a new wing comŽmemorating the His Majesty's 80th birthday.
Donations can be made to bank accounts Siam Commercial 5664761331, Kasikorn 471229997, Bangkok 504691114 and Krung Thai 5210243273. Telephone (053) 945 672 or (053) 945 679.
