泰國一對夫妻指控，早產兒子住進新生兒加護病房（NICU）治療期間，醫護人員竟直接在病房內聚餐，甚至以用餐為由要求家屬暫時離開。他們質疑，這樣的作法恐怕影響醫療照護，也懷疑與孩子最終不幸離世有關，目前警方已介入調查。
The Public Health Ministry has ordered a fact-finding investigation into the conduct of a group of doctors and nurses at the Ang Thong provincial hospital after they held a buffet party in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), after which a newborn baby was found dead.

根據外媒《太陽報》報導，這名男嬰17日出生於泰國安通府一間醫院，因僅懷孕8個月便提前生產，出生後立即被送往NICU保溫箱接受照護。男嬰父親表示，孩子出生當天凌晨，醫師曾告知其呼吸急促、情況不穩，建議立即插管協助呼吸，他也簽署相關同意文件。
隨後醫護人員向家屬說明，孩子生命徵象已逐漸穩定。然而20日家屬前往探視時，卻發現NICU內擺放約5張餐桌，多名醫師、護理師及院內工作人員正在病房內用餐，其中一桌距離保溫箱僅數步之遙。
夫妻倆指出，院方人員甚至因正在吃飯，要求他們先離開病房，雖然醫護強調不會影響男嬰，但家屬仍認為，在照護早產兒的無菌環境內進食並不恰當，且送餐人員進入病房時，也未佩戴口罩或其他防護裝備。未料隔天，院方通知男嬰病情突然惡化，最終於上午10時左右宣告死亡。更令家屬不解的是，醫師口頭表示死因疑似為血液感染，但醫院開立的文件卻記載為「肺動脈高壓」，前後說法並不一致。

此外，家屬還發現孩子遺體出現右腳踝骨折及頭部左側受傷等異常情況，進一步加深疑慮。為釐清真相，家屬已向帕維納兒童與婦女基金會尋求協助，並要求進行獨立法醫鑑定。目前男嬰遺體已送往警察總醫院法醫研究所解剖，法醫同步採集血液、組織及肝臟等檢體進行化驗，預計約兩週後公布檢驗結果。至於家屬提出的相關指控，院方截至目前仍未對外做出回應。
