Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha's Health Declines Amid Organ Infections

Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha's health has taken a critical turn, with the Royal Palace announcing on Thursday that her condition has significantly worsened. Physicians are actively working to manage her irregular heart rate, which has been exacerbated by multiple organ infections. The 47-year-old princess has been in a coma since her collapse in December 2022.

Doctors identified a stomach infection in April that led to intestinal inflammation, causing a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Despite interventions for her lungs and kidneys, her health has continued to decline. Medical staff are maintaining close observation and ongoing treatment.

Princess Bajrakitiyabha, daughter of King Vajiralongkorn, previously served as Thailand's ambassador to Austria and worked with the United Nations. She held the rank of general as chief of staff of the Royal Security Command and was widely considered a potential successor to her father.
