Khok Udom Health Center Temporarily Closes Due to Severe Flooding in Prachin Buri

On September 22, 2026, heavy rainfall throughout the night led to severe flooding at the Khok Udom Health Center (RPS) in Prachin Buri province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, floodwaters reached depths of up to 30 centimeters, inundating the facility's examination rooms, pharmacy, and document storage areas.

In response, staff and local health volunteers worked to relocate essential medicines, medical equipment, and office supplies to higher ground to prevent damage. The facility has announced a temporary closure to ensure the safety of patients and staff. Additionally, the flooding has impacted local infrastructure, with sections of Highway 304 near the Nong Ki Municipality office experiencing significant water accumulation, causing traffic disruptions.

For residents and travelers in the area, this closure means that routine medical services at this specific location are currently unavailable. Those requiring medical assistance are advised to seek alternative facilities nearby. While emergency drainage efforts are underway, the duration of the closure remains to be confirmed, as it depends on the receding of floodwaters and the assessment of the facility's operational status. Travelers are encouraged to monitor local traffic reports, particularly regarding the status of Highway 304, as road conditions may change rapidly due to ongoing weather conditions.
