Samitivej Hospitals — Bangkok, Thailand

Samitivej Hospital is a Bangkok-based healthcare group recognized for serving both Thai and foreign patients across a broad range of specialties. Care spans from pediatric services—through Samitivej International Children’s Hospital—to adult tertiary and surgical care at multiple hospitals in the group. The doctors team includes specialists across complex fields, from organ transplant and cardiac surgery to advanced medical and esthetic procedures. Samitivej International Children’s Hospital is built around full-spectrum pediatric care from infancy through adolescence, offering both primary and tertiary treatment, including surgical interventions. In 2025, the children’s hospital expanded with a new 8-story building at Srinakarin, providing 111 beds for pediatric patients. For pediatric cancer and blood disorders, the hospital provides hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation technology. The hospital also operates a Newborn and Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery program using ultra-small surgical instruments with incisions as small as 2 mm. For families seeking pediatric rehabilitation after treatment, the Smart Hospital approach supports safety, convenience, and advanced post-treatment recovery. International care is supported through structured online and in-hospital services designed to reduce friction before, during, and after treatment. Patients can access teleconsultation and second opinion-style support, and the hospital provides treatment planning using submitted medical records. Samitivej also offers Samitivej PACE for real-time monitoring for relatives during surgery, and it supports coordination through dedicated coordinators during the hospital stay. For communication, the hospital runs interpreter support with in-hospital interpreters fluent in Japanese, Korean, Burmese, Chinese, Arabic, and Indonesian. The group is recognized for quality and patient-centered standards, including JCI accreditation. Samitivej also received recognition from The Medical Travel Quality Alliance (MTQUA) as one of the Top 10 World’s Best Hospitals for Medical Tourism from 2017–2019, and it received multiple awards in 2020. In the hospital group’s scale, the CEO’s message describes growth from one 100-bed facility into 8 hospitals with over 4,000 beds. Samitivej reports that over one million patients place their trust in the group each year, with 40% being foreigners traveling from near and far. The provider network is also extensive: the find-doctor directory shows 2,105 doctors found, and the hospitals employ more than 2,000 healthcare specialists across 7 hospitals. Samitivej continues to invest in advanced care environments, including Smart Hospital concepts and digital ward capabilities such as nurse call functionality and fall monitoring notifications.
