Dr. Dhanesh Pitidhammabhorn B.Sc. (Hons.), M.D. (Hons), Ph.D. is Chairman of Facility Management and Safety Committee and lecturer in Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University.
Synopsis: Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute (CNMI) is a medical institute of the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, which will become the main facility for training medical students in 2021. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CNMI was used as an isolation facility for COVID-19 patients who were transferred from the main Ramathibodi Hospital. Dhanesh Pitidhammabhorn, M.D., who is in charge of the facility management of CNMI, led us to visit CNMI’s Premium Clinic that is prepared for facilitating COVID-19 cases. Dr. Dhanesh introduced us to the ARI clinic on the 2nd floor, the modular swab unit in front of the building, and the cohort ward and the ICU ward on the 4th floor. The cohort ward is used to take care of mild to moderate COVID-19 cases. Ventilation and air pressure need to be controlled in the whole ward, particularly in the patients’ rooms. The ICU ward is used to take care of severe COVID-19 patients. The patients have to be in negative pressure rooms with a pressure monitor in front of each room to strictly control pressure inside the rooms.
