An accredited hospital in Thailand is has been independently assessed by third-party organizations such as Thai Medical Vacation or JCI. Accreditation helps people quickly measure the safety regulations, guidelines, and practices of a hospital anywhere in Thailand. Think of hospital and doctor accreditation as a seal of approval that verifies the quality and authenticity of medical treatments. A medical facility in America or Australia cannot open unless they passes certain regulatory codes,health inspections etc. Similarly, we do not recommend our clients to Un-Accreditated facilities in Thailand.

Our recommended hospitals must demonstrate to us that they possess the resources,personnel, equipment and regulatory understanding to provide our international clients the quality medical treatments they deserve.

As a Medical tourism expert, our job is to focus on the consumers’ safety by looking for certain requirements such as:

  • Internationally trained doctors and medical staff
  • Modern medical equipment and technologies
  • Affiliations with top-tier Medical providers from around the world
  • Proper coordination of Before and After surgery care
  • Evidence-based guidelines
  • Current Certifications for Quality and safety protocols
  • Provisioning for any adverse events

Why is Hospital Accreditation So important?

Hospital Accreditation helps you select the right medical facility based on actual performance of a hospital or clinic. These responsible medical treatment centers maintain certain standards, quality and ethics. Quality assurance and medical error elimination play a vital  role for international hospitals looking to gain hospital accreditation in Thailand.

Hospitals that lack accreditations may be hospitals worth avoiding. Thai Medical Vacation has an approved provider list of qualified specialists in over 135 distinct medical treatments. Most of our partners have already been accredited by organizations such as JCI or Joint Commission International or ISO International Organization for standardization.
