To minimize risk, please read the following:
All medical treatment carries risk, and you should be aware of and understand fully
the risks associated with treatment overseas. It is important that you know and
understand the policies of the hospital AND make certain to take practical steps
to ensure your own well-being and safety.
To minimize risk, please read the following:
- If you are a new patient, you will be asked to complete and submit a medical survey,
which will be kept in your secure, electronic medical file. It is vital that your
physician be informed in advance of any medical condition that you have as well
as medication (prescription and non-prescription) that you are taking.
- Smoking is a health risk and is a contraindication for surgery. If you are coming
to Bumrungrad for surgery, it is imperative that you stop smoking completely at
least 2 weeks before surgery.
- You are encouraged to ask questions in your consultation and to make certain that
you understand the risks of surgery and the likely outcomes.
- It is important that you are realistic about what cosmetic surgery and treatments
can and cannot do. Your doctor is in the best position to address these issues and
for that reason frank and open dialogue is recommended to avoid any misunderstanding.
- Before undergoing any procedure here at Bumrungrad International, you will be asked
to sign a consent form, which essentially states that you have been informed of
the risks involved in the treatment. No procedure will be performed unless you sign
the consent form, which indicates that you understand and agree to the risks. This
is for your protection and safety, and we strongly encourage you to review a sample
of the informed consent before traveling.
- The hospital is fully insured against accident and injury and all physicians are
required to have medical malpractice insurance.
