Thailand as a Medical Hub

Thailand as a Medical Hub in Asia


The Royal Thai Government is actively working to establish as a regional medical hub in Asia by 2008. To achieve its goal, the government has allocated a large sum of money into medical research and development, as well as into the promotion of new medical technology. At present, a substantial number of foreigners come to Thailand each year to seek medical treatments. This number is expected to reach at least 2 millions by the year 2008.
At the same time, Thailand's leading private hospitals are seizing up this golden opportunity to upgrade their medical facilities and to expan the scope of their services to accommodate the various needs of foreigners. Foreigners have access to a range of medical services, such as general diagnosis and treatment, physical check up, dental and eye care, and cosmetic surgery. Many large private hospitals are also staffed with translators to assist foreigners in their communications with medical professional. Most importantly, Thai physicians, most of whom obtained their training from pretigious medical institution aboard,are highly qualified and adhere to strict international medical standards.
By western standard, Thai hospitals offer extremely cost competitive medical services. Costs for medical services in Thailand can be up to 50 - 80% cheaper than in North America.
