Thailand\u2019s private healthcare sector<\/h2>\n

Thailand has one of the strongest private healthcare sectors in Southeast Asia. The Land of Smiles has a well-deserved reputation for high-quality care, with a vast array of private hospitals, centers, and clinics that offer world-class care in plush, topnotch settings.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it is reassuring to know that more than 60 hospitals in Thailand are accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), which certifies adherence to high international standards and promotes best practice. To top it off, there are more than 60,000 licensed doctors in the country that have either received training overseas or have credentials from one of Thailand\u2019s top medical schools. Most of these doctors have acquired medical experience from working both at public and private hospitals<\/a>. In fact, some public hospitals like Siriraj<\/a> and Chulalongkorn<\/a> hospitals are among some of the best in the country.<\/p>\n
