NHSO seeks B9.8bn boost
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) will seek an additional budget of 9.8 billion baht to help those affected by the third wave of Covid-19.
NHSO secretary-general Jadej Thammatacharee said on Thursday the board had agreed to seek 9.87 billion baht from the government to pay for Covid-19 expenses from April to September this year.
The NHSO needed the extra funds because the number of Covid-19 patients in the country continues to rise, the doctor said.
