In 2020, Thailand, there were a total of 6,884 infected cases and 61 fatalities by the end of 2020. When a new wave of pandemic struck in April 2021, the COVID-19 outbreak spread all over the country effected 19,205 died and 1,883,161 infected (the report of October 2021). During the second outbreak, the number of the infected case had suddenly increased. The infected case rose to more than 1,000 cases per day. Consequently, the government has temporally insufficient resources to provide the medical treatment for people. These need rapid adaptation to cope with disease and health hazards. The Department of Medical Services, as the secretary of National Committee on COVID-19 Medical Services assigned the Princess Mother National Institute on Drug Abuse Treatment, Thailand (PMNIDAT) to take part of the crisis solving. Actually, the main responsibility of the PMNIDAT focused on providing treatment services for people with alcohol and drug use disorder. However, when global, especially Thailand has been confronting with the COVID-19 outbreak. The PMNIDAT promptly responded for crisis situation. Consequently, the initiative on “From Drug Addict Mission to COVID-19 Crisis Alleviation" The initiative aims to provide emergency medical services for people with COVID-19 in Pathum Thani Province, Bangkok and Perimeter Area. The project focused on reducing mortality rate and preventing the further infection in those areas. PMNIDAT set up field hospital with 210 beds for mild symptoms, Cohort Ward with 33 beds for severe symptoms and 200 beds of Home Isolation Service for asymptomatic. The surveillance rapid response of PMNIDAT was impactful achievements in relieving COVID-19 crisis situation in communities. Number of patients and infected persons were equitable accessed to treatment in time.

Question 2

Veuillez expliquer en quoi l’initiative est corrélée à la catégorie sélectionnée. (100 mots maximum)
PMNIDAT had to adjust its role to serve COVID-19 cases from both public sectors and its current drug-addict patients. In no time, having learned from medical experts, the center staffs were informed and able to care for patients. The facilities were adapted to suit the purpose of treating COVID-19 cases. For example, the training building was used as a field hospital, equipped with communication tools to constantly observe patients and arrange medications and supplies. Various technologies and schemes were developed to help patients access medical services, recover emotionally, reduce anxiety, provide an appropriate diet, and follow up after discharge.

Question 3

a. Veuillez spécifier quels sont les ODD et les cibles que l’initiative soutient, et décrivez concrètement comment l’initiative a contribué à leur mise en œuvre. (200 mots maximum)
PMNIDAT was the first among those under the Department of Medical Services to operate field hospital in the treatment of COVID-19 patients irrespective of gender, race, or nationality. PMNIDAT also helped other hospitals to be able to care for those with limitations, such as bedridden patients, disable patients, patients who are drug addicts, the physically challenged, and the dependent (SDGs 10). PMNIDAT had a total of 2,712 patients under its care. The case fatality rate was 0.3%, reflecting a drop in the mortality rate of those with COVID-19 complications (SDGs 3.4). The COVID-19 patients received prompt treatment and were under close surveillance of the doctors while they were on medications (SDGs 3.8).
b. Veuillez décrire ce qui rend l’initiative durable en terme social et environnemental. (100 mots maximum)
The treatment system at PMNIDAT helped ease the COVID-19 crisis, paving way for preventive measures in the treatment of emerging diseases. The measures have been used in rehabilitation centers and hospitals and given rise to the so-called "new normal" medical services such as telemedicine, which relied on online consultation and postage. This reduced traffic and workload of the hospital, saving time and expenditure. In addition, manuals on standard operating procedures to combat epidemics were issued and distributed to field hospitals. A course on how to care for infected addicts was established, and the public was educated on the subject.

Question 4

a. Veuillez expliquer comment l’initiative répond à un déficit important en termes de gouvernance, d’administration publique ou de service public dans le contexte d’un pays ou d’une région donnés. (200 mots maximum)

Advanced coaching and practicing with the medical experts, specifically on the topics related to serving COVID-19 patients, were provided to the PMNIDAT staffs. Standard operating procedures including "Before Action Review" and "After Action Review" were adopted to update on the situation, the standard of medical care provided, and the job responsibilities previously assigned. The procedures also allowed medical teams to act promptly in any case of unforeseen emergency.
b. Veuillez expliquer comment votre initiative aborde l’inégalité des genres dans le contexte du pays en question. (100 mots maximum)
The field hospital segregated patients according to the severity of the disease and gender. However, when an entire family was infected, the mother and her children would stay together.

c. Veuillez décrire le(s) groupe(s) ciblé(s), et expliquez comment l’initiative a amélioré leur situation. (200 mots maximum)

(1) COVID-19-infected drug addicts who received both drug rehabilitation and COVID treatment.(2) The general public who received medical care and treatment from PMNIDAT, which included scheduled follow-up chest x-rays, tailored medications and diets according to their specific needs.(3) The healthcare providers who worked at PMNIDAT. They strictly observed the 3 P's safety measures, rotating their duties every 14 days to lessen their workload and reduce the risk of disease contact. This group received professional and healthcare benefits including food, accommodation, regular swab tests, hazard pay, and an advanced payment.

They are as follows: (1) To set up a field hospital and home isolation care system in accordance with the 4Ps Safety (Patient, Personnel, People and Public) principles. (2) To appoint an expert to train the experienced staff. (3) To provide adequate quality PPE (personal protective equipment) in accordance with industry standards. (4) To design digital gadget in line with the provision of care and prevention of the COVID-19 as per the regulations of social distancing. For example, segregate working zones of the healthcare workers who are at risk of infection and the managerial officers. The lessons deemed as effective were recorded and passed down as guidelines or manuals to help the healthcare providers in taking care of COVID-19 patients. (5) The care of COVID-19 infected drug addicts was a challenge as they would demonstrate withdrawal symptoms, psychological complications, and anti-social behaviors, which also set limitations for the treatment of COVID-19. This group of patients thus required specialized treatments from experienced and expertised medical teams in order to be cured from the disease and the addiction. The drug-addict patients who have been cured of COVID-19 would continue through regular rehabilitation process to recover from the addiction. Patient confidentiality is maintained when taking history in case of relapse. (6) A follow-up on the cases that were discharged from the hospital after 7 and 14 days. This is to provide continuous care; it was observed that 89.75% did not demonstrate any sign of overstressed conditions or anxiety while only 10.25% still needed to medical consultation. (7) An "After Action Review" was performed for further planning on a day-to-day basis.
