Israel dispatched some medical experts to Thailand in June to figure out the causes of sudden unexpected death syndrome which have killed 66 Thai workers during the past four years.

Thailand’s Director-General of the Employment Department Sumet Mahosot held a joint press conference co-chaired by Amnon Ben Ami, DirectorGeneral of Population Immigration and Border Authority (PIBA) of Israel.

In 2015 alone, ten Thai workers died from the syndrome, prompting Israel to discuss with the Thai Public Health Ministry about effective prevention from the syndrome.

The Israeli delegates agreed that Thai workers should have their cardiography checked before departure to Israel. The press conference came at the end of the visit to Thailand of Mr. Amnon Ben-Ami and his delegation to boost the ThaiIsraeli cooperation in labour in 2015.
