THAILAND: ASIA'S MEDICAL HUB
Thailand has well positioned itself to become the medical hub of Asia, with more than four hundred hospitals offering the most advanced treatments by an internationally trained medical staff. The country boasts the largest hospital in Southeast Asia and the first hospital in Asia to be granted the prestigious Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCIA).
High costs of medical treatments in western countries, along with overloaded medical facilities, has added great attraction to Thailand’s high quality low cost medical service industry. For example, elective surgery in Thailand’s best private hospitals is often one tenth the cost of the same procedure if performed in the United States.
In addition to the cost saving, there is also the added benefit that treatment and aftercare services are often performed in resort like settings, with a level of hospitality not found in other of the world’s medical centers. Doctors are experts in their fields and nurses are registered and well trained. But beyond the medical attraction, patients are treated to personal service characterized by Thailand’s excellence. Patients are not left to linger in hospital waiting rooms for hours, left unattended and uninformed.
Some hospitals will even assign patients a personal assistant. Patients are kept informed throughout their stay. Staffs and doctors can speak English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, Hainan, Arabic, Urdu and others, and has 60 interpreters on duty. And many of the country’s hospitals have the most advanced medical equipment.

First,
Thank all three of you for responding back to me regarding this. We are working with some very reputable Stem Cell Therapy centers around the world - but I have not had the occasion to explore anything in either Thailand or Malaysia. My client as a devout Muslim, and has pre-determined that "above all else" he will not have this done in another Muslim country (Jordan)?, or in India, or anywhere in the West.
His diagnosis is early stages of MS... not able to get much more than that at this time, as he assures me he will share that only with the Physicians.
Yes Sikarin... that number would be helpful.
Mark, YES there are some great research programs going on in the West, but we're pretty well locked into traveling from the Middle East to the Far East.
Juthamas - I also am aware that "some hospitals in Thailand can do this kind of Therapy"... it's those sources that I'm trying to locate. My client CAN speak (obviously) Arabic, and is quite fluent in English.
Names and numbers would be helpful.
Thank you,

First though I believe u need to have the exact diagnosis before employing Stem Cell and also look at what's being done (e.g., research, study groups, etc) in different locations throughout the world before start anything. There are many options so keep the doors open for anywhere in the world where studies have been concluded or results have been positive. Might even be eligible to get into a study group for certain diagnosis'.

You can also consult with Thera Vitae stem-cell company in Thailand and see if he could give you a good advice.

Urgent...
THAILAND STEM CELL THERAPY.
I am a US based Facilitator, working with a wealthy gentleman living in the Middle-East who wants to have Stem Cell Therapy done in Bangkok. He is counting on us to set this up for him - he will be arriving with his brother and servant. Will be there as necessary for initial treatments and needs car and private driver, and very high-end accommodations for he and his staff - not too far from this Medical Facility. Will someone in Thailand work with me in behalf of this client ?
Thank you,
Jack Schafer
