On August 9, 2025, Prime Minister Anuthins Charnveerakul and Interior Minister presided over a merit-making ceremony at Ranong Hospital to raise funds for medical equipment purchases. The 20 million baht in donations came from individuals, private sector, and government agencies, aimed at acquiring necessary medical devices to enhance healthcare services in Ranong and neighboring provinces with quality, speed, and safety.
The ceremony also commemorated the 99th birthday celebration of the Supreme Sangha Council. Over 1,000 people attended the event, led by senior monks including the provincial abbot.
Prime Minister Anuthins emphasized that the funds serve as an investment for Ranong's residents themselves, ensuring better medical care for the community. He instructed all relevant officials—hospital director, provincial health officer, and provincial governor—to guarantee that 100 percent of the 20 million baht goes exclusively toward medical equipment with no exceptions. He demanded clear receipts for every transaction and strictly prohibited any misuse of funds, stating he would personally monitor every aspect to ensure the money stays in Ranong for genuine medical purposes.
