The Lions Club of Pattaya-Nongprue donated nearly 180,000 baht to
Banglamung Hospital toward cataracts operations for low-income patients
unable to pay for the surgery with public welfare.
Club President Bunanat Pattanasin and consultant Krit Jiramongkol
presented 179,360 baht to Dr. Chanchai Limthongcharoen, deputy director
of Banglamung Hospital, April 23.
Bunanat said the Lions have been aware of funding problems faced by
Banglamung Hospital’s patients for cataract operations. The club knew
that a number of Banglamung Home for the Elderly residents needed the
operations but could not use welfare due to problems with their
documentation.
Therefore the club raised funds for the hospital to help those elderly
patients. The club raised enough for cataract removal on 10 eyes.
“I have to thank the Lions Club of Pattaya-Nongprue for donating funds
to the hospital to help sick patients,” said Chanchai. “This was a good
opportunity for the club to close the social-welfare gap.”
