Ambassador Of Thailand

आयुर्वेद की लोकप्रिय औषधियों को उपहारस्वरूप देने की परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाते हुए केंद्रीय आयुष मंत्री सर्बानंद सोनोवाल ने भारत में थाईलैंड की राजदूत (Ambassador of Thailand to India) महामहिम सुश्री पट्टारत होंगटोंग (Ms Pattarat Hongtong) को आयुष-64 किट (AYUSH-64 kit) भेंट किया।  गौरतलब है कि प्रचंड महामारी के समय आयुष-64 किट कोरोना कवच के रूप में काफी मददगार साबित हुआ था। यह एक औपचारिक मुलाकात थी जिसमें दोनों देशों के बीच आयुष और समुद्री क्षेत्रों में पारस्परिक लाभ के लिए द्विपक्षीय सहयोग के मुद्दों पर चर्चा की। सर्बानंद सोनोवाल ने कहा कि उन्हें बेहतर स्वास्थ्य के लिए आयुर्वेदिक सूत्रीकरण से तैयार आयुष-64 किट को भेंट करते हुए बेहद प्रसन्नता हो रही है। यह पहल विश्व स्तर पर लोगों को आयुष चिकित्सा पद्धति से लाभान्वित करने के लिए कई कदमों में से एक है। यह भी पढ़े► धन्वंतरी भवन के चौथे खंड की आधारशिला केन्द्रीय आयुष मंत्री ने रखी

Bangkok, Aug 1 (IANS) Thailand's daily Covid-19 cases and deaths both set records again on Saturday, as the country fights its worst surge in infections driven by the highly contagious Delta variant.Data from the Ministry of Public Health showed that Thailand's Covid-19 caseload rose by 18,912 over the last 24 hours to 697,287, and the death toll increased by 178 to 4,857, the Xinhua news agency reported.Daily case tallies in the Southeast Asian country have continued to rise sharply in July despite the imposition of tougher restrictions like curfew and partial lockdown in its most affected provinces.The number of patients in critical condition and on ventilators also climbed to 4,691 and 1,032 respectively, which is increasing pressure on the medical system in the hard-hit areas like the capital Bangkok.Local media reported that the soaring cases have prompted the authorities to consider extending the current restrictive measures for another two weeks.With some 5.5 per cent people fully inoculated, Thailand's vaccination rate is relatively low. However, the country has accelerated its vaccination progress recently, with a new record of single-day shots on Friday. --IANSint/rs
