/PRNewswire/ -- Bumrungrad International Hospital recently earned
its third Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) "Accreditation
with Excellence," scoring 100% across all criteria measuring the
quality of care delivered to medical tourists. Bumrungrad
International Hospital was proud to be the first hospital outside
of the United States to receive
this accreditation, as it demonstrates its commitment to leadership
in the field of medical tourism.
Bumrungrad has been a trusted leader in
medical tourism for over four decades.
Located in Bangkok,
Thailand, Bumrungrad is an internationally accredited,
multi-specialty hospital, caring for over 1.1 million patients from
more than 190 countries annually. Additionally, Bumrungrad
International Hospital has been a global pioneer in providing
world-class healthcare services and international patient support

Artirat Charukitpipat, Ph.D., CEO of Bumrungrad International
Hospital, stated, "Bumrungrad International Hospital has been a
trusted leader in international medical tourism for over four
decades. We care for patients from all over the world, as our
patients come from over 190 countries. We are proud to have
successfully earned our third GHA accreditation with "Excellence,"
which reflects our aim to advance our standards of healthcare
quality and safety in delivering patient care — all of which
strengthens our, and Thailand's,
competitive position in the medical tourism market."
Chatchai Yachantha, Ph.D., Chief Patient Experience Officer of
Bumrungrad International Hospital, added, "Since 2017, when we
first received GHA Accreditation with Excellence, we have been
focused on continuous improvement of our treatment standards to
ensure patients always receive a positive experience. We do so by
delivering care in a warm and generous manner to help our patients
feel as comfortable as they would at home. Receiving a score of
100% on all criteria during the GHA evaluation process this year is
proof of the dedication and diligence of our care teams in
providing patient-centered care — in accordance with the
Bumrungrad Way and international standards of care. This
demonstrates the success of our strong organizational culture,
which is passed on from generation to generation, and is an
important strength needed to carry our mission into the
future."

experience is a crucial factor that showcases the capabilities and
competence of healthcare providers. The more a patient trusts a
provider, the more loyal they will be to that provider. GHA
accreditation with 'Excellence' helps providers increase patient
confidence while also highlighting which providers are most capable
of being responsive to the needs and expectations of current
medical tourists."
Ms. Stephano continued, "I want to congratulate Dr. Artirat,
