65,000 names submitted to parliament to oppose community volunteer nurse program

The Nurses Association of Thailand and its network submitted 65,000 names to parliament, opposing the government's community volunteer nurse program.
The opposition centers on public safety concerns, arguing that volunteers with only 240 hours of training are unqualified to care for high-risk, vulnerable patients who require professional assessment and care.
The association emphasizes that nursing is a licensed profession requiring extensive knowledge and skills, not just short-course training, to ensure patient well-being and prevent complications.
They demand a review of the volunteer nurse program and a solution to the existing nurse shortage, highlighting that 7,000 trained nurses are currently unemployed by the state.

Thailand's National Security Council (NSC) officially denied a viral warning advising citizens to stock up on 72 hours of emergency supplies, urging the public to rely on official information channels.
Despite the denial, the NSC is actively monitoring the Middle East crisis and coordinating contingency plans, reflecting a broader global emphasis on emergency preparedness.
Countries worldwide, particularly in Europe and Asia, are encouraging households to maintain emergency provisions for 3 to 10 days or more, aiming to strengthen public resilience against natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, and potential security threats.
