Thailand Medical Tourism

The remarkable growth of Thailand’s medical tourism industry seems to lose little momentum, and the country is currently recognized as one of the leaders in healthcare service provision. By offering a highly personalized level of patient care in a safe and clean environment for only a fraction of the cost in Western economies, medical tourism has become a significant part of Thailand’s growing economy. The range of elective and non-elective surgery and medical procedures provided is a clear indication of the maturity and organization of its healthcare system.

 

Thailand’s large community of expatriates from America and Europe is one reason that the country is able to maintain a very high level of healthcare, providing cutting-edge facilities and equipment for its pool of highly qualified and well-trained doctors.

 

The government of Thailand is focused on promoting the image and standard of medical care to an expanded market around the world. As a result, the number of hospital with JCI accreditation is definitely on the rise in Thailand. One of Thailand’s private hospitals also became the first in Asia to receive JCAHO Accreditation, with other hospitals domestically and around Asia also not far behind. It is common for medical practitioners in Thailand to hole US or UK professional certification, due to the links that have been established between several Thai hospitals and their US or UK educational institute partners.
