Bumrungrad International Hospital

Thailand’s leading hospital for medical tourism, Bumrungrad International opened in 1980 and has gone on to become one of the world’s leading centers of medicine. It is the largest private medical center in Southeast Asia.

The hospital is run by a team of international managers representing the US, UK, Singapore, Australia and Thailand. The doctors employed here have significant international experience, with many educated abroad in the UK and US. Important international research is also carried out onsite.

Bumrungrad International Hospital is often billed as a ‘one-stop’ medical center, with patients arriving for everything from regular checkups and simple outpatient procedures to complicated surgeries and therapies. In either event, the latest technology and treatment is available.

Bumrungrad International was the first hospital in Asia to be accredited by the Joint Commission International, the same organization that accredits hospitals in the US. Accreditation was first given in 2002 and is renewed every three years.

International patients come for a variety of reasons. Patients in need of serious surgeries of the heart or nervous system will find that Bumrungrad offers these operations at a fraction of the price at standards matching the highest available in the West. Outpatient procedures are often coupled with a holiday in Southeast Asia. Given the popularity of Thailand as a tourist destination, this outpatient clinic is one of the largest in the world.

The medical campus is well-equipped to care for guests. Patients can choose from six room types that offer an increasing selection of amenities. Serviced apartments and suites are also available. The hospital is also equipped with convenience stores, coffee shops, international restaurants, fast-food outlets and several shopping outlets.
