Pharmacist Jaroen Wongariyakavee, OTC Sales Director, Great Eastern Drug Co., Ltd., said that the donation of Solmax cough relief medicine and other medical supplies to Nonthaburi and other provinces was part of the company's corporate social responsibility activities launched earlier this year to celebrate GED's 60th anniversary.
"We concentrate on home isolation patients because cough, sore throats and mucus are common symptoms found in many of green COVID-19 patients," said Jaroen. "Faster access to the right medicine will surely shorten their recovery period. We have therefore worked closely with Nonthaburi province and other areas in distributing our cough relief medicines, COVID-19 test kits, PPEs and other medical supplies to this group of patients for the best benefits of both the patients and caretakers."
Mr. Suchin Chaichumsak, Nonthaburi Governor, said, "With our proactive measure, Nonthaburi province has improved our community isolation (CI) centers and enable them to work independently. Those centers can do swab tests by their own medical staff. We have local quarantine system to support people waiting for RT-PCR tests. Medical labs here can provide RT-PCR test result in 24 hours, which is much faster than previously 3-4 days. Once the test result is obtained, we can immediately do chest X-ray. We have increased the capacity of the 3 field hospitals to accommodate more patients. Each field hospital has its own oxygen generators. At the same time, community hospitals and main hospitals have all received 200-300 more oxygen high flow machines from the Ministry of Public Health.
"Thanks to the concerted efforts from local and central authorities as well as private sector, Nonthaburi province can manage the pandemic to some extent. We wish to thank GED for the medical supplies donation."

In addition to support for COVID-19 handling, GED earlier this year donated wild fire extinguishing equipment, allergic tablets and dust prevention equipment as well as arranged trainings on respiratory disease prevention for residents and wildfire fighters in the North of Thailand. The donation and training helped people living in northern Thailand survive the PM2.5 dust crisis caused by wildfire in the dry season.
