Located in Samut Sakhon province, Banphaeo Hospital (Public Organisation) has been constructing the Banphaeo Eye Hospital but it needs a further Bt120 million to complete the project and equip it with the facilities needed by a specialised centre for eye care. “To blind patients, it’s so meaningful even if their wait can be cut short,” Banphaeo Hospital director Dr Pornthep Pongtawigorn said. At present, Banphaeo Hospital’s team of 15 eye doctors now treats 500 eye patients every day, despite being limited in its number of examination rooms and operating theatres. The 300-bed Banphaeo Hospital provides healthcare through its 130 doctors, who cover nearly all specialist fields, and 1,500 multi-disciplinary staff members. Donations can be made to the Krungthai Bank account number 745-0-33317-1 under the name “Banphaeo Hospital, Fund to Create Banphaeo Eye Hospital”, or via phone call (typing *948*888*100#) where you can make Bt100 donations.
