A network of people and students, joined by medical alumni, rallied to support the Medical Council's disciplinary actions against three doctors involved in former PM Thaksin Shinawatra's hospital stay.
The Medical Council is set to review its May 8 resolution, which suspended the licenses of two doctors and warned another, despite the Public Health Minister's opposition.
Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin faces accusations of distorting facts and exerting undue pressure by vetoing the resolution and insisting on attending the council meeting.
Supporters urged the council to uphold its ethical principles, resist outside interference, and maintain public confidence in its decisions.
