They still need more help especially the medical equipment that must be sufficiently provided for the treatment of increasing patients. Therefore, Banpu would like to find ways to help medical personnel tohave a better access to the equipment in a timely manner, and we will continue to provide support in order to help our country to quickly overcome this crisis.”
