Thailand features internationally accredited medical facilities

Thailand was the first country in Asia to achieve JCI accreditation in 2002, and 13 hospitals are now accredited.

Many Thai hospitals use Hospital Accreditation (HA), a four-stage process that combines self-assessment and peer assessment to judge performance levels against established standards and identify methods of

improvement.
