As chairman of the Rural Doctors Society, Dr Supat in 2020 criticised the government’s procurement of Covid vaccines and ATKs. He has denied that the case against Dr Supat was political. Dr Supat is currently running as a candidate for the People’s Party in Constituency 2 of Songkhla in the Feb 8 election. The Civil Service Commission has said serious doubts remain over the fairness and completeness of the disciplinary process that led to his removal from public service. The petition was backed by the People’s Health Promotion Movement, the “Friends of Dr Supat” network and a group representing families who lost relatives to Covid-19.
