His Majesty pays Phang Nga boy’s medical costs – more operations Saturday
HM the King has helped pay for some of the medical care for the seven year old boy mauled by four stray dogs at a beach in Phang Nga last weekend.
He is now recovering in Vachira Phuket Hospital.
The boy was attacked in Ban Tha Noon, Takua Thung district on Sunday.
Dr Chalermpong Sukhonthapol, spokesperson for the hospital, says the hospital was told that His Majesty has taken Yeunyong “Nong D-Max” Chairap under his patronage.
Chalermpong explained that the Royal Household Bureau sent a formal letter to inform the hospital of the King’s patronage and the Phuket provincial administration has assigned the hospital and the Phuket Public Health Office to take care of the young patient.
Chalermpong said a team performed a second surgery for the boy for six hours yesterday.
He said the surgeons would perform a third operation to fix bigger wounds, which may require tissue grafting, this Saturday.
