Hospital in Nan Province Opens Donation Drive for Medical Equipment Amid Viral Pet-Themed Campaign

Key summary

The Mae Charim Hospital in Nan Province and the Nan Provincial Hospital have launched a donation campaign to support medical equipment for patients. The initiative gained significant attention on Facebook pages belonging to both hospitals, which posted thank-you cards featuring images of pets such as dogs, cats, birds, fish, cows, and beetles donated by supporters. Some donors used creative names for their contributions, including 'Nong Chut' (meaning 'will not complain') and 'Nong Yindee' (meaning 'happy but likes to hug parents'). While the hospital expressed gratitude for donations ranging from single digits to ten-thousands of baht, it clarified that the total amount raised has exceeded its target. Consequently, the processing of individual thank-you cards by medical staff and nurses during breaks and after work hours may be delayed. The hospital confirmed that the donation drive remains open for additional contributions.
