First Asian hospital to get international accreditation
Bumrungrad was the first Asian hospital accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the international arm of the organization that reviews and accredits American hospitals. Their checklist includes over 350 standards, for everything from surgical hygiene and anesthesia procedures to the systems in place to credential medical staff and nurses. JCI sends a team to re-review hospitals at 3-year intervals. Bumrungrad was first accredited in 2002, re-accredited in 2005 and 2008. Click here to see JCIA Certificate. |

Special distinction for stroke and heart programs
In November, 2009, Bumrungrad received recertification for treating strokes and heart attacks from The Joint Commission International (JCI) - the leading international evaluator of hospital quality. The distinctions certify that the hospital's programs meet international standards and follow the latest US clinical guidelines.
JCI reviewers review every facet of care for the hospital's stroke and heart attack patients, including emergency measures, rapid imaging and diagnosis, experienced specialists, and effective long-term treatment. JCI criteria are based on international, best-practice clinical guidelines.

Regular, independent reviews to assure patient safety
Thailand also has its own Hospital Accreditation program conducted by the Institute of Hospital Quality Improvement & Accreditation. Bumrungrad was the first hospital in the country to be accredited by this program in 1999 and was reaccredited in triennial reviews in 2002 and 2005. The Thai accreditation process is demanding: Bumrungrad is one of only 14 private hospitals in Bangkok (out of over 100) to earn it. Click here to see Thai HA Certificate. |
