Bumrungrad International in the news again. They have been steadily expanding throughout Asia and the Middle East. The latest development is the signing of a four year agreement with the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi to operate the Al Mahfraq Hospital in the United Arab Emirates. The hospital has 460 beds and handles over 310,00 patients annually.

Bumrungrad now owns and operates over 70 hospitals and healthcare facilities in seven countries in Asia and the Middle East. It also has the largest chain of renal dialysis centers in Asia. Much of Bumrunrad’s and other medical destinations’ rapid growth in recent years has been driven by the large influx of patients from Arab countries. Travel to Europe and the U.S. for medical treatment has become much more difficult for those patients since 9/11 and as a result the medical tourism industry in Asia has been booming. Burmrungrad has not only been addressing that demographic with staff and facilities tailored to their needs, but has also been steadily expanding its presence in the Middle East.
