PHUKET: Phuket's newest hospital has put off taking admissions for at least two weeks. Director Dr Yee Yitathasiri said the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation Hospital had hoped to open for in-patients from today.
''We want to make sure everything is just the way it should be,'' he told Phuketwan. ''At the moment, a little more work needs to be done.
''We hope to be able to open for admissions in about two weeks.''
The new hospital, Phuket's seventh, is private and available for both Thai and expat residents and visitors. The 327-million-baht facility is likely to ease pressure on Vachira Phuket Hospital, Phuket's largest public hospital.
In the first phase of its opening, the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation Hospital launched for day-patients on May 31.
Run by Thonburi Hospital Public Company Ltd, with about 130 beds to be available eventually, the hospital also has five operating rooms, a CAT scanner that takes 64 slides, and 14 stations for kidney dialysis.
It's to the east of Phuket City, on Anuphas Phuket Karn Road, the main route to Koh Sireh.

Will they have staff speaking English as at Vachira Hospital it is nearly impossible to have nurses or doctors speaking fairly English.
For that reason, international hospital in Phuket abuse of that situation and overcharge foreign patients.
