Between 20-22 January 2003, Thai Airways International in cooperation with
the Center Point Hospital in Chittagong, the People’s Republic of Bangladesh,
arranged a team of ear specialists, leading physicians and medical volunteers
to Chittagong, to provide ear check ups for the people in Chittagong free of
charge.
In order to support and promote Chiang Mai as the northern aviation
commercial hub as well as medical center, THAI arranged and brought a team
of leading physicians and medical volunteers from government and private
hospitals in Bangkok to visit Chittagong and provide general ear check-ups at
no cost. Similar activity was also organised to mark the launch of the airline’s
flight operations between Bangkok and Chittagong via Chiang Mai. THAI’s
President, Mr. Kanok Abhiradee, said the move was made to introduce medical
services which are available in Thailand.
In cooperation with the Center Point Hospital in Chittagong, THAI will bring a
team of 11 prominent physicians and ear specialists, led by Doctor Sunthorn
Antarasen, to set up a booth between 20-22 January 2003, at Chittagong
Center Point, between 0830-1630 hrs to provide ear check-ups as well as give
consultation on health problems related to hearing organs and respiratory
tracts. It is expected that the team might accommodate about 500 patients a
day.
In addition to Chiang Mai’s reputation as one of Thailand’s well-known tourism
and cultural attractions, Thai Airways International plans to promote Chiang
Mai as a center of international education, and focal point for the import/export
trade of both manufactured and agricultural products in order to develop
Chiang Mai as the regional hub of air transportation and business. |
