Six medical specialists assigned to treat Thaksin at Police General Hospital

23 Sept 04:59 Key points summarised by AI

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is being treated at Police General Hospital by a team of six medical specialists for heart, lung, and COVID-19 related issues, following his transfer due to chest tightness and hypertension.
Thaksin's condition has slightly improved, though he remains fatigued and has high blood pressure, requiring oxygen. Hospital officials deny special treatment, citing legal exemptions for not shackling elderly inmates and noting that a transfer to a private hospital would require Corrections Department approval.
