Klang Hospital’s wards full of COVID-19 patients, anti-viral drugs still being provided
13 Sept 12:34Key points summarised by AI
Klang Hospital's 8-bed ICU and 30-bed cohort ward for severe COVID-19 cases requiring ventilators are now fully occupied.
Despite full wards, the hospital continues to provide medical services to nearly 300 daily out-patients, offering COVID-19 tests and anti-viral medications such as Favipiravir and Molnupiravir.
As a main general hospital under Bangkok's administration, Klang Hospital manages patient transfers and can redirect new patients to six other hospitals if its capacity is exceeded.
The situation at Klang Hospital reflects Thailand's fluctuating daily COVID-19 cases, with authorities predicting a continued surge in infections peaking in September.
