The Medical Council initiated a comprehensive investigation into doctors at Corrections Department and Police General hospitals involved in former PM Thaksin Shinawatra's diagnosis and treatment since August last year.
The probe follows numerous public complaints questioning the veracity and transparency of medical certifications that justified Thaksin's six-month hospital stay over imprisonment.
A special investigation panel is authorized under the Medical Profession Act to gather detailed information, including doctors' names, full treatment records, opinions, and all relevant medical documents.
The panel has demanded all evidence, including medical certificates, surgery records, and lab results, be submitted by January 15th for review.
