  • Medical Hub of Asia March 2012
    Medical Hub of Asia Thailand: Medical Hub of Asia March 2012 Thailand is the medical hub of Asia and one of the world’s leading destinations for such services. With a first-rate health care technology infrastructure, the Thai medical services industry provides quality on par with developed countries yet at a fraction of the cost. Recognizing both the Kingdom’s capacity to deliver world-class treatment and the substantial demand from abroad, the Thai government is focusing development on three major areas: medical services, health care such as spas and traditional massage, and herbal products. This includes medical tourism, with projects concentrated in the high tourist areas: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Surat Thani, Pattaya and Hua Hin. The country is also renowned for alternative medicine such as meditation, yoga and Thai massage, with these services delivered by private providers and specialized medical centers. Just as investment in high-tech care equipment continues to rise, opportunities are also expanding in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. Affordable First-Class Quality With over 1,000 public and 400 private hospitals operating at high standards and fully equipped with internationally trained physicians, Thai medical service provides excellent care at very competitive prices. The prevalence of physicians with overseas training and hospitals’ multilingual staffs also means there are no communication barriers for foreign patients. Each year the country attracts about 2 million medical tourists from abroad. The most prominent treatments requested by the foreign patients are general check-ups, dental care, hip replacements, laser eye surgery, kidney transplants and heart surgery. In comparison, some surgeries conducted in Thailand are as much as 90% less expensive than in the United States.

    A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF AIR HUBS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA HAN SONGGUANG (B. Soc. Sci. (Hons.)), NUS A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2007 A Geographical Analysis of Air Hubs in Southeast Asia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seemed like not long ago when I started out on my undergraduate degree at the National University of Singapore and here I am at the conclusion of my formal education. The decision to pursue this Masters degree was not a straightforward and simple one. Many sacrifices had to be made as a result but I am glad to have truly enjoyed and benefited from this fulfilling journey. This thesis, in many ways, is the culmination of my academic journey, one fraught with challenges but also laden with rewards. It also marks the start of a new chapter of my life where I leave the comfortable and sheltered confines of the university into the “outside world” and my future pursuit of a career in education. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the following people, without whom this thesis would not have been possible: I am foremost indebted to Associate Professor K. Raguraman who first inspired me in the wonderful field of transport geography from the undergraduate modules I did under him. His endearing self, intellectual guidance, critical comments and helpful suggestions have been central to the completion of this thesis. A special word of thanks to you Ragu, my supervisor, mentor, inspiration and friend. All faculty members at the Department of Geography, NUS who have taught me (hopefully well enough!) during my undergraduate and postgraduate days in the university and enabled me to see the magic behind the discipline that is Geography.
