Over 3,000 die in Thai social violence

Over 3,000 die, 200,000 wounded in 2006 social violence

BANGKOK, Nov 18 (TNA) - Signs of violence in Thai society are on a rising trend and, according to Dr. Prat Boonyawongvirot, permanent secretary for public health, with 3,086 persons having died violently and 216,037 people being wounded in 2006.


Compared to statistics in 2002, the number of people killed and wounded last year rose 20 and 30 per cent respectively, said Dr. Prat.

The leading permanent civil servant for health said that in 2006 men suffered critical injuries at a rate between six to seven times more often than women, with the majority of them as young men, aged between 15-29. The next up age level followed with the second most frequent age group being men aged between age 30 and 44.

Five to seven infants aged below one year are wounded annually, with one or two dying.

Some 35 per cent of the attacks were domestic, taking place inside homes, and 29 per cent took place on the street.

Most of the victims were either stabbed or shot.

Most of the attackers were either the husband or other family members in the family, alcoholic drinks and narcotics were implicated in most of the incidents, Dr. Prat said.

Such disturbances in the social fabric have caused significant losses to Thailand's economy and society, with an economic cost estimated at as much as Bt36.69 billion annually.

RE: Over 3,000 die in Thai social violence

I read this article in the post and it mentioned that this was from the statistics of only 24 hospitals. What about the rest of the hospitals across the country?
