MEDICAL TOURISM IN THAILAND

Thailand is one of the fastest growing destinations for medical tourism attracting over one million people per year from all over the world for everything from cutting edge cardiac surgery to organ transplants to dental surgery to cosmetic surgery in a safe and clean environment. Thailand is also a popular choice for people requiring sex reassignment surgery.

Medical tourism in Thailand is a growing segment of Thailand's tourism and health-care sectors. Lower labor costs translate into significant cost savings on surgical care compared to hospitals in the United States, and a higher, more personalized level of nursing care than westerners are accustomed to receiving in hospitals back home.

Cost savings for medical procedures compared to US or Europe are tremendous. Depending upon the surgery sought, savings can range from 50% to 90% for comparable treatments in the US, UK or other Western countries.

Medical tourists can enjoy not only personalized services and long stay at low prices but also various tourism spots, shopping and many other attractions.

Hospitals in Thailand offer top quality healthcare services and packages at affordable prices and attract not only Americans, Canadians, and Europeans but are a popular destination for other Asians as well. The U.S. consular information sheet gives the Thai health care system high marks for quality, particularly facilities in Bangkok.

Thailand has a growing number of hospitals with JCAHO accreditation to demonstrate their worth in the international market. Huge investments have also been made in equipment and management standards and thus enabling the hospitals to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation.
