Bumrungrad International

Bumrungrad International Hospital, founded in 1980, is Southeast Asia’s largest private medical center, a regional referral center for specialty medicine, and one of the world’s most popular medical tourism destinations.

Located in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand, Bumrungrad International Hospital is a one-stop center for medical services, and features 554 beds, 25 specialty centers, and 945 doctors (210 US board certified) representing virtually all specialties and sub specialties of medicine. Dental, general and specialty medicine, advanced diagnostics and therapeutics, surgical services, intensive care, and rehabilitation are all available in this modern, one million square foot facility.

In 2002, Bumrungrad International Hospital became the first hospital in Asia to be accredited by the USA's Joint Commission International, one of the groups providing international healthcare accreditation services. The hospital treats over one million patients annually for medical services ranging from comprehensive check ups to cardiac surgery. The hospital manages patient information using an integrated hospital information system that uses electronic medical records and digital radiology systems.

Bumrungrad International Hospital is regularly featured in the world press as a leading medical tourism destination. The hospital attracts 400,000 international patients from over 160 countries seeking high quality, lower cost healthcare, and has a complete support service infrastructure to manage inbound patients, including partnerships with leading inbound and outbound travel and tour operators.

In 1999, Bumrungrad commissioned the development of a custom Total Hospital Information System application to service both the front office and back office. The application is key to achieving rapid scheduling of services and efficient use of resources at Bumrungrad International. Global Care Solutions, one of the hospital's IT partners, improves and maintains this integrated total hospital information system, called Hospital 2000.

Bumrungrad is a public company traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). It received the Prime Minister’s Export Award in 2002, Asia Money magazine’s “Best Small Cap Company” award in 2004, and was featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes and NBC’s Today Show as a leader in medical tourism. The hospital is managed by an experienced team of senior hospital administrators from the United States, Singapore and Europe.
