The Department of Health Services Support will file charges against a private hospital where a product presenter was brought in unconscious, after attendng a party, and died soon after.

The hospital, in Chatuchak area, will be charged with failing to properly diagnose and treat the young woman, and falsely billing her for a meal she never received, department director general Tharet Karatnairawiwong said on Friday.

Whitchayaporn "Wawa" Vissesombat, died at Paolo Hospital Kaset in Chatuchak district on the morning of Feb 23. She had been hired to serve drinks at a Bangkok residence the night before.
She had been brought unconscious to the hospital. She was later pronounced dead of respiratory failure. Relatives had turned to Mr Atchariya for help over her death.

The complaint accused the hospital of failing to properly diagnose her condition and delaying treatment, and fraudulently charging her for a meal.

Dr Tharet said the department's legal section had been ordered to take action against the hospital on two counts under Section 36 of the Sanatorium Act - failing to properly triage the patient when she was brought in, resulting in a delay in receiving treatment.
