Mrs Bush to visit hospital

Bangkok Post - October 21, 2003
Wassayos Ngamkham


A royal-sponsored children's hospital is ready to welcome United States first lady Laura Bush, who will visit the hospital's joint Thai-US anti-Aids project.

The US embassy has yet to notify the exact time of the visit.

The atmosphere at Maha Rajini National Child Health Institute was lively yesterday with many US embassy, Special Branch Bureau and military officers screening and zoning the main hospital building to ensure security for the US first lady.

The hospital's entire Siam Borom Rajakumaree Building had been cleaned specially for the occasion. Director Dr Suraphi Ruangsuwan said the hospital was preparing for Mrs Bush's visit by co-ordinating tight security with the US embassy. Mrs Bush will follow up on the hospital's research project against HIV virus transmission from mothers to children.
