Urgent! Suriya Juangroongruangkit, Minister of Agriculture, was rushed to hospital late at night after fainting and losing consciousness. Doctors performed CPR successfully, and he is now out of danger.
On 25 May 2026, urgent news reported that Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, was urgently taken to hospital after fainting and losing consciousness. Upon arrival, the medical team promptly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to save his life.
The latest report states that his vital signs have returned to normal and he is out of danger, but he still requires rest and close medical supervision.
According to a close associate, the sudden illness is believed to have been caused by physical exhaustion and inadequate rest, as Mr. Suriya has been working intensively to drive progress and resolve various issues throughout the full two months since taking office.
Before the sudden illness, the Minister had an important schedule to visit Udon Thani Province to monitor progress on irrigation projects and check preparations for the upcoming World Horticultural Expo, a key event the Ministry is actively promoting. Due to this incident, the visit has been postponed until his condition improves.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives will officially provide further updates on the minister’s condition and his return to duties at a later time.
