This story is from October 2006 but worth mentioning for completeness in the assessment of Thailand’s top healthcare facilities. Newsweek, in an article titled Medical Meccas, features Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok and lavishes the usual praises upon it such as “world-class medicine at developing-world prices”, and “velvet-glove treatment redolent of a five-star hotel”. The article also mentions the move by some U.S. insurance companies to cover procedures performed at overseas hospitals. The leader in this healthcare outsourcing is United Group Programs, previously mentioned here. The Newsweek article lists the 10 world leaders of medical destinations; Bumrungrad is listed first among those 10 prestigious institutions.
