Why is Thailand’s medical level relatively high?

Thailand’s economic development is medium, but the local medical level is quite high in the world. Various world-class hospitals and medical services attract patients and tourists from all over the world.

Why is Thailand’s economy underdeveloped but its medical level high? Do you know why?

Many people believe that economic level and medical level should be linked, but Thailand is an exception. In recent years, Thailand has been the world's number one medical tourism destination. As a major country in tourism services, Thailand has been vigorously developing medical tourism services since it began to build a tourism power.

We can see that Thailand’s medical level has been certified by world authoritative organizations. Across Southeast Asia, Kang Ming, Thailand’s Samitivej and Bangkok Hospital are among others. These international hospitals are the first batch of hospitals to obtain ZC certification and qualifications, representing the highest medical level in the world.

Currently, more than 30 hospitals in Thailand have obtained this certification. These hospitals are open to foreign tourists, attracting them with the same medical environment and services as five-star hotels. So everyone says that Thailand has first-world medical services, but it has a third-world price system.

Many major surgeries cost a fraction of what they cost in the United States. Rich people from other countries come to Thailand to experience medical treatment. It is no longer a torture, but more like a kind of tourism and vacation. Natural medical treatment in Thailand has become the choice of many people.

In order to promote Thailand's medical standards, Thailand often sends doctors to Europe and the United States to exchange the latest medical technology, and spends money to introduce the world's most advanced medical equipment, eventually becoming the world's number one medical tourism destination. So this is why Thailand’s economy is not particularly developed, but its medical level is comparable to Europe and the United States.
