The Role of Thai Healthcare Facilities in India During the COVID-19 Crisis

Abstract

         This academic article will present the role of Thai healthcare facilities in India during the COVID-19 crisis. It will focus on the role of the Kushinagar Clinic at Wat Thai Kushinara Chalermraj in the Republic of India in managing assistance to those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in India. The severe spread of COVID-19 worldwide has made India the country with the second-highest cumulative number of infections globally. Despite the government's preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 through lockdowns, the country's large population has significantly limited access to protective equipment, resulting in a rapid increase in virus transmission. This has caused India to face severe problems. However, many countries have extended help, leading to a gradual improvement in the situation. The Kushinagar Clinic at Wat Thai Kushinara Chalermraj in the Republic of India has played a role in assisting those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in India. It has adopted the public welfare management model of the Sangha, using the principles of support, nurture, development, and integration to help and heal those affected by the COVID-19 virus in the community and society. The public welfare management of the Kushinagar Clinic and Wat Thai Kushinara Chalermraj not only provides immediate assistance but also focuses on sustainable development and long-term strengthening of the community.
