Thai doctors to assist disaster victims in Japan
BANGKOK, March 17 (TNA) - The Medical Council of Thailand (TMC) has announced that it is recruiting doctors online from across the country to assist disaster victims in Japan.
TMC chief, Doctor Amnaj Kusalanont, said that the move is aimed at ensuring a sufficient number of doctors for the disaster victims in Japan, and that the online recruitment, which is hosted through TMC’s website [www.tmc.or.th], is particularly seeking volunteer doctors who are fluent in Japanese.
Amnaj revealed that his council is also working with Thailand’s Royal College of Physicians to disseminate information to the public on proper usage of Iodine tablets and Betadine, which are known to help resist radioactive contamination, on the same website. The TMC chief noted, however, that the two substances are needless for those living as far as Thailand and warned of adverse results from possible Iodine poisoning.
Meanwhile, a Royal Thai Air Force C-130 plane has left for Japan to bring home a group of Thai nationals, after more than 200 of them have voiced their requests. Another Thai Air Force flight was set to fly to Japan for the same mission on March 18. (TNA)
