Drill Simulates a COVID-19 Case

Khon Kaen Ram Hospital Together with Shell Thailand, Khon Kaen Ram Hospital practiced responding to a simulated COVID-19 case.

Dr. Pichan Chamadol, Medical Director of Khon Kaen Ram Hospital, worked with Shell Thailand on a drill simulating the detection of a COVID-19 case.

Ms. Ketsala Sriphanthabut, Emergency Department Manager; Ms. Pattasarin Kaewhao, Infection Control Nurse; and Ms. Yuwari Athana, the hospital's occupational safety officer, took part in the drill.

Mr. Songsarngphot Phromko, Manager of the Shell Khon Kaen fuel depot, also cooperated closely in the simulation of a company employee testing positive for COVID-19.

Although the COVID-19 situation had begun to improve at the time, there was still a risk of another outbreak

due to transmission in neighboring countries and the reopening of the country to foreign visitors.

Shell Thailand recognized the need to prepare and therefore worked with Khon Kaen Ram Hospital on an effective response drill for a possible incident.

At the time, Khon Kaen Ram Hospital was the only private hospital in Khon Kaen Province accredited for laboratory testing by the Department of Medical Sciences and registered to test for COVID-19.
