"The natural disaster that occurred on December 26, 2004 marks a historic event in Thailand, especially for the medical and public health sectors - more than 5000 people died almost instantaneously, and losses beyond expectation were incurred through the destructive force of the tsunami. There has never been a natural disaster in Thailand's history that has unleashed such devastation." -- p. 54.
