Thaksin diagnosed with four co-morbidities, under close watch in prison hospital

As a result, the prison decided to detain Thaksin alone in Zone 7, which is the hospital of the Bangkok Remand Prison where he would be monitored by medical staff around the clock, Sitthi added.

According to Sitthi, Thaksin has the following illnesses:

▪︎ Ischemia, a heart condition in which blood flow is restricted and doctors need to prescribe anti-blood-clotting drugs to him regularly.

▪︎ He has had severe lung infections because of Covid. Although he has been cured, his lungs still have adhesion, causing him to feel tired easily.

▪︎ Thaksin suffers from hypertension and needs to take medicines regularly because of high blood pressure.

▪︎ He has been suffering from degenerative spine and herniated discs, which have affected his balance and walk.
