Vibhavadi Hospital

Vibhavadi Hospital is one of the many international medical facilities in Bangkok. It is particularly well-known for orthopedic procedures, laparoscopic surgery, LASIK eye surgery and cosmetic procedures. 

The hospital is staffed by highly qualified surgeons, many of whom received their training and formal education overseas. There are 350 patient beds in the hospital, dozens of examination rooms, 50 full-time physicians and five times as many consultants on hand.

Vibhavadi Hospital has adequate facilities to accommodate as many as 2,000 outpatients on a daily basis and operates a 24-hour emergency room. The hospital’s ambulance service offers nationwide coverage.

Patients are treated using modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. Among these are computerized X-ray machines, wavefront LASIK devices, comprehensive laparoscopic tools for minimally invasive procedures and lung performance meters. The hospital was awarded ISO 9001 status in 2000.

On the medical tourist front, Vibhavadi Hospital typically receives patients seeking outpatient procedures. Specialty divisions like the diabetes, thyroid, ear-nose-and-throat and allergy clinics are particularly popular. Facilities for more in-depth procedures are also in place, particularly the center for cardiac rehabilitation.

The hospital has several tiers of accommodation ranging from semi-private rooms with four beds to luxurious VIP suites. Prices are well below those in Western nations, while the level of service is often superior. 

The hospital is located in Bangkok’s Jatujak district, within easy reach of major transportation links including skytrain and metro stations. Special services are available to prospective international patients including help with arranging insurance, translation and airport pickup.
