Phuket Medical Tourism

Thailand is considered the world’s foremost medical tourism country due to the availability of a wide range of treatments, high levels of service and cheap prices. Although most medical centers are in Bangkok, Phuket is a leading medical tourism destination for those who want to combine cheap medical care with a tropical island vacation.

Phuket offers medical tourists a good range of private hospitals and clinics which specialize in modern procedures such as plastic surgery, dental care and laser eye surgery. Fully equipped with state-of-the art technology to provide the finest medical care around, these medical facilities are a great option for those who want to avoid waiting times and cut costs on Western medical care.

Doctors and medical staff in Phuket’s private medical institutions speak English and are trained to Western standards. Most facilities offer comprehensive care packages, including medical insurance, quick check ups and luxurious accommodation to leave patients feeling relaxed and confident in their medical care.

Bangkok Hospital Phuket is one of the island’s leading medical institutions and has been offering international patients quality care for more than 10 years. Featuring English speaking staff and modern procedures, Bangkok Hospital Phuket is the first choice for many medical tourists.

Other prominent Phuket hospitals and clinics with good facilities and savings for medical tourists from Europe or the US include Phuket International Hospital, Mission Hospital Phuket, Patong Hospital and Bangkok International Clinic.
