Medical Tourism by Delphi Health Services

All over the world and for many different reasons, medical tourism is a growing phenomenon as people seek better and more affordable health care in the shining new hospitals of India, Singapore and Thailand.  Americans avoiding outrageous costs and overworked doctors, Britons discontent at waiting 2 years for a surgery and patients across the developing world tired of poor quality are flocking to Thailand, the world leader in medical tourism.  Thailand drew in over 1.3 million foreign patients last year, double its nearest rival - India, at only 600,000.

Patients from over a hundred countries have found that Thailand’s hospitals are modern, with scores of nurses eager to help instead of their overworked and rushed counterparts in the West.  Doctors are educated in the US and EU, speak excellent English and aren’t rushed from appointment to appointment or pressured by HMOs.  Equipment is state-of-the-art, with PET/CT scanners, robotic laproscopic


surgery and a highly integrated computer network to share and protect your medical information.  Prices average one quarter those in the US, though many common surgeries are much less, and the medical tourist can be sure that they are receiving care at least as good, if not much better, than in the US

  Thailand’s charms do not end with medicine, though, and the well-earned reputation of Thai hospitality and service is a major factor in Thailand’s success.  Compared to Singapore or India, a tourist will have a far more pleasant stay in exotic Thailand, with it’s perfect blend of foreign culture, luxurious hotels and restaurants and stunning beaches.  Whether one favors eco-tourism or high-end shopping and a day at the spa, Thailand caters to all tastes and offers a relaxing place to recover from treatment or a well-earned treat that just happens to save on the hospital bill.

Delphi helps educate people about Thailand’s advantages and offerings in medical tourism in six countries across Asia as well as the United States and Canada, though we welcome inquiries and offer our services worldwide.  We strongly recommend the Bangkok Hospital Medical Center, the flagship of Thailand’s Bangkok Hospital Group, as this is easily the most technologically sophisticated hospital complex in Thailand while matching its competition both for service and cost.  BMC’s diverse range of services also means that a medical tourist seeking anything from a physical exam and tooth cleaning to heart surgery can rest assured that they are getting the best care possible.
