The deputy provincial health chief of Nakhon Ratchasima has been ordered to cease performing his duty and has been transferred to an inactive post at the 9th public health regional office, pending the outcome of an investigation into his alleged involvement in corruption concerning the holding of “virtual” training courses for health officials.
