Chairat Panthuraamphorn, M.D., Managing Director and CEO of Samitivej and BNH Hospitals, said that “Samitivej is honored to be a healthcare provider specifically for Japanese people at two branches—Samitivej Sukhumvit and Samitivej Sriracha Hospital. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Samitivej is committed to offering great healthcare services to everyone, including Japanese people who have always trusted us. As more and more Japanese are using our services, they have become our top foreign patients. Last year, there were about 400 Japanese patients daily, and approximately 200 Japanese babies are born at Samitivej each year.
With total dedication to medical excellence and best specialist services for Japanese patients, Samitivej is the first hospital outside of Japan that has been visited by experts of the Japan Council for Quality Health Care (JCQHC) to serve Japanese patients in Thailand and Southeast Asia with the same safety and quality health service standards Japanese can rely on at home. Allowing us to exchange exceptional medical expertise, we join forces with two leading hospitals from Japan: Takatsuki General Hospital, specialized in pediatrics, neonatal intensive care and knee surgery, and Sano Hospital, specialized in colonoscopy (GI endoscopy) using narrow-band imaging (NBI) technique which leads to twice the accuracy rate in identifying dangerous polyps in the colon. Sano Hospital also specializes in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique to remove large polyps.
Japanese Hospital by Samitivej is opened to serve the increasing number of Japanese patients. We seek to offer the best 24-hour services to Japanese patients with our efficient team comprising of Japanese and Thai doctors and nurses as well as operators who can communicate in Japanese. Featuring 30 beds, this six-story hospital consists of a pharmacy room and cashier (G), Liver and Digestive Institute (1st Floor), Japanese Wellness Center (2nd Floor), Liver and Digestive Institute (3rd Floor), Adult Ward (4th –5th Floors) and Pediatric Ward (6th Floor).
