MEDICAL CARE IN THAILAND

Thailand is considered one of the most technically advanced medical centers in the World. It is renowned for its high quality of care. The Thai people are known for their gentleness and compassion. They strive to deliver the highest quality care possible including related amenities unimagined by U.S. patients.

Many Doctors in Thailand have received international training in the U.S. and other Western Countries. Many speak fluent English and have lived and practiced in Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe or the United States.

The medical profession in Thailand takes a broad approach to healing inclusive of holistic therapies. Practitioners focus on the root cause of the disease process rather than the symptoms alone. The breadth of treatments available in Thailand is a direct reflection of the international training received by medical personnel.

Hospitals in Bangkok and Phuket have received International Accreditation known as “ISO”. The equipment and standard of care requirements meet or exceed those in the US, Canada and Europe.

It is customary for Thai hospitals and clinics to use licensed Registered Nurses rather than their less qualified counterparts, Practical Nurses and Orderlies. Thai medical services are known for meeting and exceeding the expectations of foreign patients from all parts of the world.

THAILAND AS A TRAVEL DESTINATION

Thailand is home to great cuisine, a number of the world's best beaches and one of the largest shopping centers in Southeast Asia. It is great for lounging on a beach, taking in the sights or experiencing the vibrant night life. Learn about the unique culture and traditions of the people of Thailand, “the land of smiles”.

THAILAND MEDICAL TRAVEL & TOURISM (TMTT) offers highly personalized medical travel services to Thailand that result in the profound and transforming life experiences of its clients. The goal is to make the medical travel experience as affordable, enjoyable and carefree as possible.

THAILAND MEDICAL TRAVEL & TOURISM was created because its founders believed that the travel industry was best equipped and perfectly placed to deal with the demands of medical travel to Thailand. Although TMTT does not provide Medical services or give medical advice of any kind, it provides a seamless interface between the travel needs of its clients and the Thai health care delivery system. TMTT has developed working relationships with a network of highly skilled and reputable physicians, clinics and hospitals in Thailand. It is this relationship that allows them to coordinate initial dialogue between doctors and prospective clients, scheduling of medical consultations, examinations and treatment with travel arrangements in advance of the client’s departure from their home country. This is followed by complete “on ground” coordination of communications between physicians, medical staff, clinics, hospitals and the client.

Enhancing and Simplifying the Medical Travel Experience

MEDICAL TOURISM: THE CONCEPT

Medical tourism in Thailand is a burgeoning industry because it offers quality treatment and accommodations at a fraction of the cost of comparable treatment in the United States with the added benefit of a desirable exotic location.

In Thailand, health care dollars go directly toward quality care rather than being consumed by administrative bureaucracy and insurance costs.

Thailand has a more efficient medical and drug regulatory environment that minimizes delay in bringing new and promising medical procedures and related drugs to market as well as minimizing the cost to the consumer.

Essentially, there is little difference between medical facilities in Thailand and the United States. In fact, many of the hospitals are associated with a well-respected hospital in the United States. It is possible to get the same, if not better, treatment in Thailand.

There is a wide variety of procedures offered in Thailand including but not limited to:

• Stem cell treatment
• In-vitro fertilization
• Joint replacements
• Dental procedures
• Hair transplant
• Cosmetic surgery

Thailand Medical Travel & Tourism and its affiliated Travel Agencies are not providers of Medical Services. Nothing contained in this brochure should be regarded as medical advice.

All medical services are provided by licensed medical professionals. The client should only consider advice received directly from a licensed physician.
