Special remarks | - |
Although Thailand has its own Hospital Accreditation (THA), the majority of internationally focused hospitals in Thailand prefer the JCI accreditation. The THA has several areas of possible improvement and the major one is lack of communication towards international patients. There is no information available in any other language except of Thai, which resolves in a huge lack of trust in this accreditation system.
