With strained health services strained and a diminishing number of beds to accommodate COVID-19 patients being blamed on an “inefficient” government, a bunch of beautiful women have stepped in to do what they can to help.
Under a campaign “COVID Patients Must be Treated” launched yesterday by Miss Grand International Thailand, the pageant will use its resources to help sick people find a hospital. Its president Nawat Itsaragrisil said there have been too many tragic stories of COVID patients dying without treatment. He cited a “deeply moving” story of a homebound, 85-year-old grandma who died in her Bangkok home after publicly pleading for help because no ambulance had arrived for days.
“It hit me then that we cannot solely rely on the Ministry of Health,” Nawat said at a Tuesday news conference.
