Bangkok, Thailand, 1 June 2021 - Prudential Life Assurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited (“Prudential Thailand”) and Eastspring Investments, a leading Asia-based asset manager, donated funds to support the construction of the Airborne Infectious Isolation Room (AIIR) at Hatyai Hospital. The AIIR was designed to provide treatment for patients with respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.

The donation is part of the Prudential Thailand’s COVID-19 Relief Fund (the Fund) that donated THB 4.9 million for the construction of AIIR and Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) Clinics in four hospitals. The Fund has been distributed among Prudential’s markets in Asia, Africa and the US to support charitable and community projects tackling the immediate impact of the pandemic and its social and economic consequences.

Hatyai Hospital is the third hospital to have completed the construction of the AIIR, a crucial facility in these times. Prior to this, the construction of the AIIR and ARI clinics at Golden Jubilee Medical Center and Vajira Hospital were completed in October 2020 and January 2021 respectively. The fourth and final ARI clinic at Priest Hospital is currently under construction and due to be completed by the end of June 2021.

The donation is part of Prudential Thailand’s 'We DO Good' commitment to our society and community as well as to help protect the health and wellbeing of Thai people.
