Thailand donates medical equipment to Cambodia for bird flu control [-Thai generosity is mainly aimed at preventing cross border contagion]

June 26, 2007

The Thai government has provided the Cambodian government with medicines and medical equipment for the prevention and control of bird flu, local newspapers reported Tuesday.

The aid, approved at a signing ceremony at the Cambodian Ministry of Health, is in the framework of a joint project to fight avian influenza signed by Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, Chea Moneth, Deputy Director of the Communicable Disease Control Department in the Health Ministry, was quoted by the Koh Santepheap as saying.

The donation consists of 53 bird flu testing kits, four cases of masks, nine cases of N95 masks, 17 cases of Latex gloves, four cases of hand-washing gel, and seven bags of Surveillance and Rapid Response Team (SRRT) equipment, the newspaper said.

The Thai government has spent 2.5 million U.S. dollars on the aid from a fund it set up in 2005 to help the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) fight outbreaks of the virus, reported the Kampuchea Thmey newspaper.

The aid aims to strengthen the capacity of hospitals in the border provinces of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, it added.

They are smart and it will benefit both Nations anyway.

What if Thais are ignorant, poor and inability to help? It probably would make any different, because we don't know. Well, at least it does make diplomatic looking great!

Oh please! The Thaicong want to prevent the bird flu from entering their country?

I remembered when Cambodia emerged from the communist cold war bullshit and all the fucken AIDS and sexual transmit diseases flow from Thailane at one point Thailane has over one million prostitutes walking the street of Bangcock!

The Thaicong would like to think that they are very clean and very modern but when you visit Bangcock and you will see what I mean!
