Bangkok Hospital Pattaya was founded on 23rd June 1990 in Pattaya, a seaside
holiday destination, which has grown to become one of the most popular Thailand
holiday destinations and is located on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand,
Chonburi province. It is one of the 30 locations run by Bangkok Dusit Medical
Services, the Bangkok Hospital Group and is the main referral hospital for the
Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.We have been growing since 1990, to become a 300 bed facility and the center
of specialized healthcare which provides all necessary diagnostic and curative
services.Our Heart Center: This is equipped with all special diagnostic instruments to
analyze the heart and it conditions, including two Catheterization labs for
Coronary Artery Angiograms to detect blocked arteries around the heart,
equipment for Cardiac Electrophysiological Study (EP) and Radio Frequency (RF)
Cardiac Ablation and Device Therapy. We can carry out Coronary Artery Bypass
Surgery without using an artificial heart-lung machine.We are the first hospital in the Eastern Region with all these technologies,
equivalent to those used in the major hospitals in Bangkok.We also established renowned centers such as our Brain and Neuro-Science
Center, Emergency Medical Services Center, Beauty Center - Dermatology and
Cosmetic Surgery Center, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Center etc.For the past two decades, we have also strived continuously to become a
center of excellence. This has led us to recruit more than 100 full time
specialists currently active in our hospital, and made us invest in modern
high-tech medical equipment to help those specialists to make accurate diagnoses
and to help them give the best available treatments to their patients. These
include Digital MRI 3.0 T , 128-slice CT scan, OCT scan (for retinal
tomography), PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and completely
electronic patient records.On top of that, to create a more convenient and comfortable ambience for our
customers, the area of Bangkok Hospital Pattaya was expanded from 5 to 9 acres
(20,800 square meters to 36,800 square meters) and since November 2006 a new 15
storey building was added to the original complex.Not only has our hospital grown, but Pattaya is also changing for the better,
becoming a world renowned family tourist destination and preferred “retirement
destination”.A large number of international tourists visit this city each year (40
percent of the total number of all our patients). The hospital provides
interpreters covering more than 20 different languages to assist patients in all
matters covering communication with the medical personnel, health insurance
problems, embassy liaison and also referral services. The hospital also has
cultural and language training courses for the staff make sure they understand
cultural differences and develop their language skills to provide the best
service for the international patients. Of course, we also service Thai patients
who are equally important to us, with the same standards and medical
technology.Bangkok Hospital Pattaya was certified ISO 9002 in 1997 (and updated to ISO
9001 2000), and in the same year, the hospital was officially recognized as the
best provider of goods and services, in the field of businesses serving high
numbers of foreign customers. Bangkok Hospital Pattaya is only the third
hospital that has been awarded this accolade. As the continuous development of
the hospital continues, Bangkok Hospital Pattaya has been given the best
Hospital Management Asia Awards, The HMA Awards, for three consecutive years:
2004, 2005 and 2006.Bangkok Hospital Pattaya renews its world accreditationThe Bangkok Hospital Pattaya which had been accredited initially by the Joint
Commission International (JCI) in 2009, was reviewed by the JCI in September
2012 and then again in 2015, to see if the previous standards of excellence were
still being met by the hospital.The review process takes a week, for the panel of overseas examiners to go
through all the different departments of the hospital, examine standard working
practices and interview doctors and nurses, as well as judging the standards of
the housekeeping, the wards and the Out Patient Clinics and all administrative
processes. No matter how well prepared you feel that you are, until the
examiners publish their findings, it is a nervous time for the management and
staff who work hard to meet the standards, both old and new, for the
re-accreditation. There were many smiling faces after the positive week-long
review, which allows the hospital to keep its international accreditation for
another three years.These awards are the result of the effort of the administrators, the
physicians and all staff Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. We will continue developing
our medical service standards and quality to be one of the best health care
providers in Thailand and South-East Asia. We confidently look forward to the
years to come.
