Your next heart surgery could well be in Bangkok — but don’t worry, it’ll be “in network.” How your health care is taking wing …
“This doesn’t look like a hospital,” says Ruben Toral, showing me around. “It feels more like a hotel or an upscale mall.” After studying the gleaming lobby of Bumrungrad International for a minute or two, I’m inclined to agree. Americans in shorts recline across from Arab couples in flowing white dishdashas and black abayas, the latter accessorized with designer handbags and sunglasses. We’re in Bangkok in August, when even the asphalt is overripe and malodorous, but the only scent inside is a faint whiff of espresso from the Starbucks in the corner.

Bumrungrad International hospital in Bangkok is becoming a popular destination for international travelers in search of low-cost medical procedures, particularly among Americans who lack comprehensive health insurance and Europeans who are unhappy with long waiting times at home. Bumrungrad treated 450,000 foreign patients last year – more than any other hospital in the world. Ruben Toral, Bumrungrad’s marketing director, says that medical tourism will eventually lead to medical outsourcing. “Your corporation, your insurer, your government could send you [to Bumrungrad] for surgery and make significant savings.” However, the trend is creating a backlash among physicians in the West, many of who voice serious concerns about the cleanliness of Thai hospital facilities and the level competency among Thai health care professionals.

Elective out-patient procedures like check-ups, dental care, LASIK are becoming increasingly popular and there is a growing interest on the part of the tourism industry to include these services as part of their travel packages. Higher intensity medical services, like spinal and cardiac surgery, pose a bigger challenge because these medical services are not as easily packaged and require significantly more knowledge about medicine.

Why these people travel and for what varies, but essentially there are two types of medical tourists – the leisure tourist that incorporates a visit to the doctor for some minor treatment, as part of his or her vacation, and the tourist travelling specifically for medical treatment.
