While spas
and meditation are designed to help prevent health problems,
a huge business is being generated amongst those who already
nave problems, and need treatment. Many Thai hospitals and
medical centers, which have recently been listed on The
Stock Exchange of Thailand to raise funds for investment
in equipment and construction, see a formidable revenue
stream in attracting clients for medical check-ups.
At present, the
cost of getting a medical check-up in Thailand is a fraction
of what it costs in more developed countries. Language problems
notwithstanding, a number of major Thai hospitals have learned
the ropes of the travel business and are marketing themselves
to also regular participants at international trade shows,
like ITB in Berlin and the Arabian Travel Mart.
At Thailand 's
more than 400 private hospitals, standards are high and
costs are extremely competitive. Little surprise then that
large numbers of visitors decide to undergo surgery in the
Kingdom as part of their stay.
Whether you are
after plastic surgery, lasik eye treatment or major heart
surgery, you can rely on round the-clock, quality service
in Bangkok and the min provincial cities and tourist centers,
Seeking care on holiday is a trouble-free experience.
Doctors and specialists
can swiftly obtain patient records by satellite. Hospitals
employ staff fluent in English and who have overseas training.
Demand for their services from he middle East has also led
to the hiring of Arabic-speaking personnel.
Indeed,
the whole business of linkage between the hospitals and
the travel industry took a step forward when Thai Airways
International ( THAI ) began packaging medical check-ups
as part of its Royal Orchid Holidays programme.
