The ability to travel is a blessing of our modern world. More leisure time and greater affordability have shrunk our world and opened it up for all to explore. More and more people no longer dream of visiting exotic climes, they make it a reality. Now, with access to the world, South East Asia has become a boom destination for those wishing to broaden their horizons, expand their understanding of the world and to improve their lives.
As South East Asia boomed, Thailand quickly emerged as the hub of the region, and in particular its capital, Bangkok. Today Bangkok is the epitome of the old saying ‘East meets West’. The city is a colourful meld of ancient, cultural traditions and international modernity.
Not only has Bangkok attracted those wishing to explore, experience and understand, but it has become a destination for thousands of expats who choose to lay down roots in the kingdom to live, work or simply retire. However, wherever we live in this world and regardless of how idyllic life and living may be, bad luck can befall anyone.
Bangkok’s Health Care Leads the World
Being an accident victim or falling sick is a risk of reality in life, no matter where you are. Whether travelling foreign lands or living your dream, health care is a prominent concern. For more than a generation, Bangkok has been building a reputation for being at the forefront of medical care.
Bangkok now boasts modern hospitals which are the envy of the world. The city is now unequalled in every area of health care. The exemplary care to be found in Bangkok not only covers accident and emergency, major, minor and protracted health issues, but it also leads the world in the area of cosmetic procedural surgery.
Sadly, thousands of foreigners require the services of health care professionals every year, whether they are visiting Bangkok, working or retired, it’s just a reality of life. But additionally, Bangkok has justifiably earnt a reputation as the world’s leading destination for medical tourists. As its global prominence has grown, so has the number of people visiting the city to take advantage of the excellent health care it offers.
Its meritorious level of care may make Bangkok a glittering star in the world of health care, however, perhaps a cautionary dose of reality should be noted. As with any profession offering a service, there are those that offer a more comprehensive portfolio than others, and those that are simply better than others.
Choosing and Trusting a Health Facility
So how do you select the best medical facility that suits your needs? Quite obviously, you do your research, and within our modern digital world, that is relatively easy. But before starting your research you need to have a clear picture of your requirements and, or, your aspirations.
If you are a medical tourist you are very likely to already have a clear idea of the medical service you need, or wish for. If you are visiting or living in the city, you are more likely to be arming yourself with the knowledge of facilities that can be of assistance to you when you need them and those that will cover any eventuality.
The area of medicine is vast, fortunately Bangkok’s leading hospitals encompass every aspect of medical care. Opting for one of these all-encompassing medical facilities is, by far, the wisest choice. A hospital that offers total, comprehensive care gives a patient confidence that, should the unexpected happen, the expertise and facilities are at hand.
Trusting your health in a facility and its personnel is a big decision. You are likely to feel more confident knowing that the doctors in which you put your trust, are trained to Western standards. Through your research you will quickly realize that the leading hospitals are staffed with Western trained doctors. Predominately, these professionals train in the UK or America. Many of the nursing and support staff have also trained or practiced their skills in Western countries.
So you decide that it is these highly trained professionals that are the ones in which you will trust your health. Having done so, you can also rest assured that they practice their skills using cutting edge technologically and equipment whilst employing modern, progressive procedures and techniques.
Care, Trust and Communication
Having confidence in the care that you will receive, and knowing you can trust the skills of your practitioners is of vital importance. But it matters little if you are unable to effectively, and precisely, communicate with the personnel in whose hands you have put your health. Fortunately, there are hospitals in the city where this, potential problem, is looked upon as of paramount importance.
The very best facilities employ English speaking staff as a matter of course, and the very best choice hospitals have speakers of multiple languages. In the event of the hospital not having a speaker of your native language, select one which offers translators at no extra charge.
Convenience and Location
An insistence on ticking all the boxes is not being overly fussy, it is essential. There is one further consideration to address. Is the hospital convenient to where you are, or where you will be? Your research will probably bring you to a conclusion of which hospital is right for you, but it may be in a location that is not compatible to your own. So how do you tackle this fly in the ointment?
Having found facilities that tick all the important boxes, you will realize that your final choice is likely to be swung by the option of a multiple facility hospital group. Choosing a hospital group with multiple, modern facilities across the city irons out the problem of location.
Whether you are visiting or living in the city, the Samitivej group of hospitals are likely to be your final choice. These hospitals have worldwide recognition, including that of the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Year on year, Samitivej continues to receive awards and accolades for its excellence in health care, technological advances, after care support and its value for money. The Samitivej Hospital Group is accessible to all, medically all-encompassing and convenient.
