BDMS: The Trauma Care Network You Can Trust

Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) has more than 50 medical facilities across Thailand and Cambodia, staffed by medical experts that are accredited and ready to treat your patients with the support of dedicated referral and insurance coordination teams

Acute illness or severe injuries are not what we want to happen anywhere, but if some undesirable incident occurs while a client is travelling in Thailand or neighbouring countries, patients and their insurers can be reassured that our trauma team provides comprehensive care for patients with serious complications.

Our expert teams are dedicated to the treatment of trauma and injuries, providing a onestop-shop for 24-hour emergency and trauma services. We have registered and highly trained teams of specialised medical professionals including orthopedic, cardiothoracic, neurology, gastrointestinal and colorectal surgeons. The team also includes specialised emergency specialists, obstetricians, anesthetists and radiologists, as well as registered nurses with training in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

Key service points for payors to note:

• Medical emergency transportation (accredited by CAMTS) is ready to transfer patients to highly accredited hospital facilities, including CCPC, JCI, and HA accreditations

• Hospital referral network system (hub and spoke model)

• Highly trained medical emergency care teams

• High-quality hospital services in line with patient and payor needs and expectations

• Medical repatriation to patient’s home country (upon request).

Supported by dedicated referral and insurance coordination teams, our 13 BDMS Centers of Excellence, located in key strategic locations in Thailand and Cambodia, ensure patients receive world-class care from the moment of first enquiry until they return home.
