Former Police Hospital Chief Dr. Taveesil Wetchavitarn resigned from government service on July 2 and plans to file civil and criminal lawsuits against relevant agencies over a medical ethics case involving the Police Hospital's 14th floor.
Former Police Hospital Chief Dr. Taveesil Wetchavitarn has formally resigned from government service and is preparing to fight back against a medical ethics case related to the 14th floor of the Police Hospital. On July 2, 2026, Dr. Taveesil arrived at the National Police Office in his private vehicle, accompanied by Police Spokesperson Pol. Capt. Sirikul Srisanga and other officers. He proceeded to the 20th floor operations center of the National Police Office to submit his formal resignation letter. Dr. Taveesil appeared composed and refused to answer any questions from the media.
Dr. Taveesil has appointed Kraisongthanakrit Jittarariratana, secretary to the Minister of Social Development and Human Security, as his lawyer. He is preparing to file civil and criminal lawsuits against all relevant agencies to seek justice. The medical ethics case involves the 14th floor of the Police Hospital. The Police Commissioner previously signed an order reassigning Dr. Taveesil to assist at the National Police Office's 20th floor operations center from October 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, which is believed to have prevented his appointment as deputy commissioner.
