To address health concerns caused by ongoing flooding, Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital is accelerating the production and distribution of 49,000 units of anti-fungal foot ointment.
Health Response to Flooding
According to a report by Matichon Online, Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital has initiated an urgent production increase for its specialized foot ointment. The facility is preparing to distribute 49,000 units of the medication to assist those affected by current flood conditions.
Why This Matters

The availability of this ointment is a proactive measure to mitigate these health risks. Those currently in or traveling to regions experiencing flooding should remain vigilant regarding skin hygiene and seek medical attention if symptoms of irritation or infection appear.
Status of Distribution
While the hospital has confirmed the production target of 49,000 units, the specific timeline for the full distribution across all affected provinces remains to be confirmed. Individuals are advised to monitor local health department announcements for information on how to access these supplies.
