Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited or GULF presented a central monitor and 10 bedside monitors to the Police General Hospital for use in the hospital’s intensive care units (ICU). The presentation follows Gulf Group’s donation of 5 million baht to the hospital in March 2020 to support the procurement of these medical devices. Mr. Saris Ratanavadi, on behalf of Mr. Sarath Ratanavadi, Chief Executive Officer, Gulf Energy Development, Public Company Limited, stated, “Gulf Group has consistently launched and supported various initiatives related to COVID-19, worth over 50 million baht in total. On this occasion, Gulf Group supported the procurement of patient monitoring devices and is happy to continue supporting the hospital in the future. The company would also like to thank all medical personnel for their work in improving the COVID-19 situation in Thailand.”

Pol Lt Gen Witoon Nitiwarangkul, M.D., Director, Police General Hospital, said, “Patient monitoring devices are crucial for patients requiring critical care and must be used in conjunction with ventilators. Nurses will analyze information from the central monitor which provides immediate data about each patient’s blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels without the nurse having to enter the patient’s room. It is considered a useful and necessary medical device for all patients, not only COVID-19 patients.”

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gulf Group has provided assistance to various sectors including supporting the procurement of medical equipment for the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rajavithi Hospital, Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute, the Central Chest Institute of Thailand, the Police General Hospital and Buddhachinaraj Hospital; providing alcohol sanitizing gel to small hospitals in Pattani and Yala provinces; providing 100,000 KN95 medical masks to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and other hospitals in need; and donating cloth face masks to sub-district health screening teams in 10 provinces. In addition, Gulf Group is providing over 150,000 meals to poor urban communities across Bangkok and has partnered with EGAT to provide survival kits for people in Nonthaburi province. Gulf’s aid initiatives have also extended to Thai elephants suffering during the pandemic through donations to the Aob Chang project. Gulf Group remains committed to supporting national efforts to alleviate the effects of COVID-19 in Thailand.
