Experience in international medical examination, treatment and service:

There are many hospitals that provide trusted physicians and modern equipment, but lack the experience of serving patients from many different countries and cultures. In the past 10 years, we have received over a hundred thousand patients to international hospitals. This is what you should refer to which we have summarized:

    Communication: If the health care provider can not speak your language, it is very difficult to understand and exchange the patient's condition and explain the direction of treatment. The hospital must have an interpreter, and most doctors must speak English. The receiving and handling center also needs to know how it works before going to the clinic.
    Utilities and Comfort: Performing surgery in another country will be safer and more reliable if the country is responsible for staying travelers, as well as experienced hospitals and clinics. favorable conditions for international patients. For example: Thailand is a well-known tourist destination thanks in part to its well-developed, well-researched tourism infrastructure and a familiar culture. International hospitals in Thailand such as Bumrungrad also have special support such as the airport reception desk, full menu of Western, Middle Eastern and Asian food, accommodation on campus Hospitals for patients and relatives, visa extension services ...
    Medical Collaboration: For complex medical examinations and tests, international patients should be advised and arranged for a safe journey. The medical record includes the relevant tests and the image will be delivered to the representative office in the patient's country - which will be in charge of receiving initial information and instructions. Some hospitals will require their patients to prepare themselves or use medical assistants. Our hospitals have doctors and nurses in a team that coordinates medical support for international patients. They are experienced professionals and managers who are well-suited to the patient's needs as well as the hospital's resources, and the service is provided free of charge. We sincerely appreciate patients' satisfaction, conducting a survey of thousands of patients each year about their experiences at international hospitals we refer. More than 90% of patients respond to full satisfaction as well as recommend clinics that they have experienced for their loved ones or friends in the future.


Cost and transparency:

Will the patient's treatment costs help them save budget and time to travel? Should Patients Be Trusted in Hospital Medical Services and Transparency in Prices? The cost of treatment at this international hospital is reasonable compared to hospitals in the United States and neighboring countries. For specialized eye, dermatology, dentistry, the cost can be high compared to the trip. But, like a general health check, these specialties can all be considered as a health step in your travel or business trip. Procedures are proving to be exciting for patients who perform cross-over medical care in the future.

In many cases, the majority of patients in Bumrungrad are from Thailand, but will the hospital be equipped to receive more cases from overseas? Bumrungrad receives and serves an average of 3,000 patients each day. About 1,200 of them are international patients. The average waiting time for seeing a doctor is less than 30 minutes. The new Bumrungrad International Clinic is the largest outpatient clinic in the world, bringing the total number of our patients to 6,000 patients a day.
