Udon Thani Hospital to Expand with New Heart and Transplant Center
A 7-rai land transfer is underway to facilitate the construction of a specialized cardiac and organ transplant center at Udon Thani Hospital.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Udon Thani Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Watcharapon Khaokham, has announced plans to transfer 7 rai of land currently held by the Department of Fisheries to Udon Thani Hospital. This initiative is part of a broader effort to establish a premium specialized center for heart disease and organ transplantation, which will include modern patient recovery facilities. The process involves the Department of Fisheries returning the land to the Treasury Department, after which Udon Thani Hospital will formally apply for its use to begin construction. This project represents a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and the Ministry of Public Health, aimed at improving access to critical medical care for residents of Udon Thani and surrounding provinces. For residents and visitors, this development signifies a potential long-term improvement in regional healthcare infrastructure, particularly for complex medical treatments. While the land transfer process has been initiated, the timeline for the commencement of construction and the final completion date of the facility remain to be confirmed. Further updates are expected as the administrative procedures between the government departments progress.
