Why it’s safer to have surgery overseas in Thailand with Azurite

If you're considering plastic or cosmetic surgery, you may be interested to know that Thailand has become a leading destination for medical tourism. In fact, more than a million individuals travel to Thailand each year for medical procedures. One of the main reasons for this is the high level of safety that Thailand's healthcare system provides. At Azurite, we believe if you’re after safety, affordability and great results - Thailand is the place to go.

Here are some of the reasons why we know surgery is safer in Thailand:

1. Highly Trained and Experienced Surgeons

Thailand has a reputation for having some of the best medical facilities and highly trained surgeons in the world. Many of these surgeons have trained in the West, particularly the US and have extensive experience in performing complex surgeries. Additionally, many hospitals in Thailand have achieved international accreditation such as the JCI standard, ensuring that they meet rigorous safety and quality standards. Our surgeons at Azurite Medical & Wellness each have over 20 years experience and are ISAPS accredited.

Meet Dr Thee

Dr Thee is one of our amazing surgeons and is ISAPS accredited. He has worked exclusively for Azurite for over 11 years. (Our team feels more comfortable recommending him than we do with most restaurants.)

1. Modern Healthcare Infrastructure

Thailand has a modern healthcare infrastructure that includes state-of-the-art hospitals and medical facilities. Many of these facilities are equipped with the latest medical technology and equipment, which enables surgeons to perform procedures with a high degree of accuracy and precision.

1. High-Quality Medical Care at Affordable Prices

One of the main advantages of seeking medical care in Thailand is the cost. Medical procedures in Thailand are typically much more affordable than in Australia or New Zealand, even when factoring in the cost of travel and accommodation. Despite the lower cost, the quality of medical care in Thailand is often comparable to that in Western countries.

1. Comprehensive Pre- and Post-Operative Care

Hospitals in Thailand typically provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care, which can help to ensure a successful outcome for your surgery. This includes thorough pre-operative evaluations, post-operative monitoring and follow-up care, and access to rehabilitation services as needed. At Azurite, our packages include pre departure evaluation and post recovery support team.

1. A Relaxing Recovery Environment

Generally, in countries like Australia you are sent home a few nights after surgery or in some cases, that day. At Azurite we provide an ideal setting for recovery after surgery. All of our packages include accommodation at the Chatrium Residence Sathon on a quiet street in the middle of Bangkok. The Chatrium has phenomenal facilities, you’ll feel more at home than usual.

In all, the reasons above are just some of many as to why you should consider having surgery overseas in Thailand. You’ll feel safe and have the ability to go further with your money as the surgery is substantially cheaper. With our highly trained surgeons, modern healthcare infrastructure, comprehensive pre- and post-operative care, and relaxing recovery environment, Azurite provides an ideal destination for surgery overseas.
