Training from developed countries
To begin with, a great many doctors and medical professionals that work in Thailand were actually trained elsewhere. The majority of these were educated in the USA, UK and Australia, although others will have trained at centres of excellence in many other countries in the developed world.
You can find specialised nurses, doctors and other staff who have trained for years under the very best in their field. Indeed, hundreds of doctors in Thailand are actually certified by the American Medical Board. This helps to demonstrate their skills and expertise according to the highest of medical standards.
The top notch facilities Thailand’s healthcare professionals work in
As well as many doctors earning accreditation by the American Medical Board, many hospitals and facilities in Thailand have also been awarded the highest level of certification. Several of Bangkok’s hospitals were the first to receive this honour in all of Asia. Now there are many such facilities both in and outside of the capital that are internationally accredited.
Facilities in places as far flung as Phuket and Koh Samui are also known for their high levels of quality and excellence. You can find the most cutting-edge technology as well as staff highly trained to make the most of it. Yet more reasons for choosing Thailand for your healthcare.
Since the country moved to universal healthcare two decades ago, locals are able to go and see a doctor for very little money. This left many private hospitals in need of more high paying customers, at least in Thai terms. This led to an upgrading of many facilities across the country aimed at attracting more medical tourism to Thailand.
All this means that you can benefit more today than ever from the best trained staff working in the highest-quality facilities and still at a cost far less than you would pay in the west. Make the most of all that Thailand has to offer in terms of skilled and experienced medical professionals working in top notch facilities right now.
The advanced treatments on offer
Many of these facilities are also located in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. Here you can experience some of the most advanced treatments available anywhere, given by specialised and skilled medical staff. At ImagineHealth Thailand, for example, some of the top treatments on offer include:
- Precision Cancer Care – the doctors and nurses here are highly trained to use the most precise and cutting-edge diagnostic tests to find out as much as is possible about your cancer. The more you know, the better you can craft a targeted strategy for success. The medical staff are trained both in these advanced diagnosis methods and the treatments that follow.
