Bangkok--1 Nov--Bumrungrad
One of the top two American news magazines, with over 20 million readers worldwide — featured Bumrungrad International in this week’s cover article titled “Medical Meccas.” The magazine’s international editions listed Thailand’s largest private hospital first among 10 “World-class Destinations” that included hospitals in Germany, India, Russia, the UK, France, Israel, and the US. Bumrungrad was the only hospital from Thailand.
Newsweek called Bumrungrad “Asia’s first internationally accredited hospital and one of the most modern and efficient medical facilities in the world.” Newsweek correspondent Joe Cochrane visited the hospital in early October, interviewing management, staff, and patients. In the article, he reports that Bumrungrad’s patients “get treatment redolent of a five-star hotel.” Attracted by “world-class medicine at developing world prices,” the hospital is “a magnet for medical tourists,” treating more foreign patients than any other hospital in the world, the magazine states.
Newsweek’s coverage joined other recent features of Bumrungrad International as a leader in medical tourism, including NBC’s Today Show, the number one rated morning news program in America; national television in Canada; Conde Naste Traveller; Time magazine; and USAToday.
