More than 100 Amari Orchid Resort & Tower employees
donated blood to Rajadhevi Sriracha Hospital.
Hotel Executive Assistant Manager Latiporn Tongkhunna led
the July 24 drive organized in cooperation with Skyline Health Center and
Bangpakok 8 Hospital, which provided free health check-ups to workers.
The doctors check blood pressure, took x-rays, examined
for various diseases and offered eye exams.
Latiporn said the hotel organized the health fair for
workers, as many are too busy to take preventative health steps. It also let
employees make merit by donating to the blood bank, she said.
Hotel accountant Chutima Chorthong said she was happy to
donate blood and encouraged others to do so, as much of the blood is sent to
military officers in Thailand’s troubled south.
Anon Senawong, managing director for Skyline Service Co.,
said he sees many full-time workers neglect their health care and encouraged
companies seeking to ensure good health for their employees to hire his
company.
