Home » Health » 'Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok on list of best hospitals in the world'
The Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok is one of the best hospitals in the world according to the news magazine Newsweek and the statistical information website Statista.
In their recently published list of the 250 best hospitals worldwide, it is Bumrungrad International Hospital ranked 182nd with a score of 93%. The highest ranked hospital is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
The ranking was based on four data sources:
- An online survey completed by more than 80.000 medical professionals from 28 countries;
- patient experience studies;
- Hospital quality statistics, including data on the quality of treatment and hygiene measures;
- A study of the implementation of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).
This recognition is encouraging for Thailand's plans to position itself as a global center for medical care and wellness by 2026. This ambition is expected to create more jobs, attract investment and contribute to several related industries, as well as promote alternative medicine.

You will not be helped there for the 30 Baht arrangement 😉
Its inclusion in the list of the top hospitals in the world will only increase prices. Only good for the 'rich' among us.
Hi Willy, that 30 baht scheme in state hospitals is also only for minor procedures. If you need surgery, you can pay first before they help you.
What,
My wife's family had a tumor in her brain removed at a state hospital.
I thought she had to pay 300 baht.
Don't know if this was about a good or a malignant tumor. When it comes to cancer, you can forget the follow-up treatments with Chemo and other expensive drugs in state hospitals. Anyone who gets seriously ill in Thailand is a bird to die or you have to be able to provide super expensive insurance and even then.
Well, Fred, that's talking to the often.
My mother-in-law went through a full cancer journey at a local state hospital. She's on the mend now. And all this was relatively affordable.
A bird for the cat, no, is nonsense.
A friend of ours has anemia. When she has to go to the Buriram state hospital for a check-up, she is there before 8 am and, with any luck, her blood is taken around 10 am. She is expected to see a doctor around 14 p.m. after at least 30 people had already preceded her. I wish people with advanced cancer the best of luck, success and patience. It's better than nothing and much better than most African countries, but I hope I never have to be treated for anything more than a sprained toe.
All I know is that she's been taking a fair amount of meds for years now.
I have not heard of hair loss, which is common after chemotherapy.
She does suffer from dizziness, so I suspect a benign tumor.
The state hospital in our small town in Isaan does have an MRI machine for the local population.
I also learned from a very well-educated Thai lady that the doctors in the private hospitals are not better trained than the doctors in the private hospitals.
The waiting times are much shorter and the buildings are much more luxurious.
Co, that will also be done the Thai way and therefore be different everywhere.
I had an operation on a broken leg at Nongkhai City State Hospital and only paid afterwards. They didn't even ask for a guarantee or credit card. Just on my trusty blue eyes…
For those who have money there are very good hospitals in TH, just a pity that they are inaccessible for the average resident of TH.
In Korat, I believe that your statement is not too bad Bert.
Between 2008 and now, as a resident, I have seen the inside of hospitals many times.
Preventive checks about six times and several times before that due to physical problems.
I have been a temporary 'resident' at various hospitals, BKH, Saint Mary and the Sut.
What struck me in the course of those years was that in a city where quite a lot of foreigners live, I never counted as a few foreigners and many Thais.
Many Thais take out life insurance with hospitalization at a younger age, as part of this is my impression.
These kinds of premiums are quite affordable for Thais with a permanent job.
To explain the amount of the payment here goes too far I think for the moderation, but the premium / reimbursement ratio, which is almost never 100%, is very much worth considering for many [including me], of course you shouldn't be a broken leg and it is indoors.
Just a reminder that in Thailand, out of 62 million inhabitants, there are less than 4 million taxpayers.
I have been to Bumrungrad a number of times.
It is a luxury hospital, comparable to the larger hospitals in the Netherlands.
The service is excellent.
Little waiting time, personal reception.
you get out of the taxi and someone with a wheelchair is waiting.
The whole makes an excellent impression.
For prices see:
https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/packages/packages-center/health-screening-center
true indeed: excellent hospital but the prices are also excellent. Spinal stenosis operation 15 years ago already B248000 but to be honest the surgeon was a true master and 1 day after surgery I could leave pain free and also return home by minibus 3 hours. The dermatologist there cost me B6000 and I now do that in the Bangkok Hospital for B1500
Moreover, medicines in both hospitals are outrageously expensive and I always ask for the name of the medicine and buy them in the pharmacy often half the price. Admittedly, the service at these private hospitals is very good.
It makes you feel good when you enter there compared to a state hospital.
we have also been to a hospital where the nurses move around on roller skates and you get a personal assistant who takes you to the right department, picks you up again and takes you to the next department.
Thais just like a lot of show.
You can also see that in the shopping malls.
Louis vutton bags are also so popular and rolex watches.
When the bill is peppered, it must be good treatment, is the reasoning.
Definitely upper class, lay there in 2001, thought the end was near, they got me
got it all right again. And what it costs that seems less important to me than getting better again.
That only applies if the insurance pays the bill or if you are filthy rich.
This is not the case for the majority of the Thai population.
That is why Bumrungrad is in Bangkok and not, for example, in Khon Kaen or Chumporn.
Indeed, luxury hospital. Luxury that you pay dearly for.
I am convinced that there are many other hospitals in Thailand, albeit with less 'bling-bling', where the medical care is just as good.
If you see that Thailand is investing more and more in medical tourism, the luxury hospitals will only become more expensive.
