The Kingdom has 64 hospitals certified by the Joint Commission International (JCI) - three times as many as Singapore and six times more than in Malaysia.
Thailand annually welcomes around 350,000 tourists seeking high-quality medical treatment, including dental care and cosmetic surgery. Each spends an average of US$1,700 on services. Thailand owes its growing popularity as a health tourism destination to the high reputation of hospitals and affordable rates.
JCI standards establish the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must be in place for a hospital to be accredited.
