About Bumrungrad International

Founded in 1980, Bumrungrad International is an internationally accredited, multi-specialty hospital. With 554 beds and over 30 specialty centers, it is today the largest private hospital in Southeast Asia. Bumrungrad offers state-of-the-art diagnostic, intensive care, and therapeutic facilities in a one-stop medical center.
Bumrungrad serves more than a million patients annually, including over 400,000 international patients. English is widely spoken. The hospital is equipped with a medical coordination office staffed by doctors, nurses, and interpreters who serve the needs of international patients.
Bumrungrad International is excited about the potential of stem cells to treat certain diseases. Where stem cell treatments have proven effective in clinical studies – for instance in the treatment of hematological diseases – Bumrungrad offers care given by experienced physicians. Bumrungrad’s doctors are following international clinical trials closely to see whether treatments prove safe and effective.
They plan to develop capabilities and offer such treatments when they are accepted by the international medical community. If their clinical research program is taking part in trials, they assure our patients that:
• the experimental nature of the treatment will be explained;
• they will adhere to guidelines mapped out by the Thai FDA and Medical Council, even if such guidelines are not yet official law;
• they will not attempt to profit from experimental treatments that are as yet unproven.
Experimental treatments should be approached cautiously, especially when they are sought as a “last chance” treatment for loved ones in critical condition. Patients and their families should trust that their doctors and hospital have evidence supporting such treatment. The evidence must be more compelling than “some patients seem to have benefited from the treatment.” It must be subject to strict rules of scientific inquiry.
Bumrungrad has been featured by CBS's 60 Minutes, Time, NBC’s Today Show, Newsweek, and other international press as a leader in medical tourism.
