MCT expected to void Somsak veto
A petition supported by more than 52,000 people has been submitted to the Medical Council of Thailand (MCT) to back its decision to discipline three doctors involved in the controversial transfer of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for treatment in a premium hospital ward.
The petition was submitted yesterday by MCT member Dr Tul Sittisomwong. It was signed by over 52,300 people, including doctors who are alumni of various medical faculties, including Chulalongkorn University, Siriraj Hospital and Ramathibodi Hospital, as well as former senators and citizens.
The mass petition is aimed at supporting the MCT ahead of its June 12 meeting, which is expected to overturn Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin’s recent veto of the MCT resolution passed on May 8 to discipline the three doctors.
