Investigation launched into senator’s earnings from clinic in Phetchaburi

11 Sept 07:31 Key points summarised by AI

Public Health Ministry initiated an investigation into Senator Dr. Keskamol Pleansamai's declared earnings from a Phetchaburi clinic over the past decade.
Dr. Keskamol reported earning 210,000 baht annually since 2014 for displaying her name plate as a general medical practitioner at the Keskamol clinic, a practice now under scrutiny.
The Phetchaburi health office will verify if she physically worked at the clinic, as displaying a name plate without physical presence could violate the Hospital Act.
The Medical Council has also accused Dr. Keskamol of violating the Medical Profession Act for publicly describing herself as a skincare specialist without proper certification.
